Has anyone died of SHAS while standing perfectly still?
I can't say I ever had. But the scariest case of SHAS I ever had was in the bonehoard. I'd found the coffin you need to toss all the golden bones into and I was trying to work out if there was anything inside. So I jumped up and dropped into it - bam, instant SHAS. It really scared the heck out of me, I thought the owner of the coffin had taken revenge for my disrespect.

This one is pretty cool...
I was playing LoTP for the first time. I had finished all the objectives and was returning to the bell tower. While I was on the ledge below the roof next to the huge hanging banner, I noticed a small shack below on the road (the same wide road that is patrolled by a big robot and a guard). So I thought I would go down and give the robot a bath (and the guard a piece of my club). I crept above the shack, located a wooden support on under the roof age, with a lot of care fired a rope (vine) arrow to it, with even more care climbed down and jumped over the shack. Pretty pleased with my taffing skills I jumped from the shack down to the road and quick-saved in mid-air. Didn't lose any health points in the whole process, but a second later it was the good old skull & bones for me. Oh yeah, I was supposed to keep to the rooftops...
And I had freaking quick-saved down there.

When I played the T2 FM "Bloody Ruins" by Christine Schneider, in the lava cavern with the ropes.... I was working my way back out and was trying to grab onto a rope from the beam I was walking on. Well, you know how when you rope arrow into a tree and try to climb it - and when you turn about it throws you down the rope, or occasionally - off the rope? Well, the way I had my rope arrow in the beam it must have set this off 'cause once I got hold of it I turned around and got thrown at high speed off of the rope and smacked into the cavern walls, killing me. My carcass then bounced down and into the lava.
Yummy! :ebil:

I dont know if anyone's ever actually mentioned this, but one time in RTHC(Return to the haunted cathedral incase some n00bs didnt know ;) )
i leaned around the corner to look. Well, when i did, my freakin body flew around the corner and fell off... :laff: :weird: (like a catapult i guess you could say..)

I often die because I try to retrieve my rope arrows. One case in point: Little Big World. I'm stingy with my supplies and can't stand to see any of it left behind. I'm also stingy with flash bombs and gas arrows, which I try deathly hard to conserve. If a guard sees me, I try to run up behind him and blackjack him on the back of the head. It often works, too :weird:. But a lot of the time I get chopped to bits as well in the process.

Probably would be the first time I played the RTHC. I was sick at the time, and could not focus well.
[SPOILER]The trip started when I slowly crept through the path you would take if you took the door to the left. A had heard the haunts and decided not to make any noise, even as a distraction. By now I had figured out that the doors close themselves. I made it into the the area which would be the nave and saw The Eye were I expected it to be. I quietly made it past the zombies and the haunt and rope-arrowed it up to the top of the tapastry to the side of the HUGE hammer. I realized that it was metal and knew that it would make much noise. This is where the illness came in (which on one day to had shut off all my complex brain functions). I forgot about my recently gained knowledge that the doors close THEMSELVES and thought that all the doors where still open. I jumped like a retarded taffer (not too far from the truth at the moment) on the hammer, off the hammer, and raced toward the front door, closing the doors behind me. I got a nasty surprise when the doors did not open and The Eye explained why. I did not hear the whole explanation, but I did get to picking the door to the right rather quickly. The zombies turned out to be an asset at the moment as they slowed down the haunts enough for me to pick the locks before me. Once I got the the nave, again, I tried to figure out where to go. An appirition had appeared and forced me to hasten my movements. I took a rope arrow and shot it up to a old beam and hoped that it was wood. It was. The rope came down just as the Haunts raced toward my position. I jumped and climbed up the rope. I made it to the top and for a moment froze as the appirition's projectiles flew past past my head. I looked down and gloated over my remarkable accomplishment. Then, my illness came in again and a moment of disorientation caused me to press the wrong arrow button and I plumeted to an unpleasant death. Oops.[/SPOILER]

It's fairly well known that jumping forward can build up enormous speed in T1, although it's not mentioned too often. Hitting a wall at top speed can result either in a sudden death or just in an even greater deceleration.
I wonder what the guards at Bafford's thought when their prey jumped around like a madman and actually escaped their wrath... something I've done very often since I discovered this "jump speed trick".

I’ve died too many dumb ways to count. Probably one of my favorites I think someone already mentioned, when I was playing masks and went into the room with the bloody gas trap, and tried to hide in the fire place, but the floor squisified me repeatedly until I died… :p Then, one time in cragscleft, I didn’t really die, but I was playing on expert and failed the “don’t kill” objective because I tossed someone’s body (which I TOUGHT was a corpse) face down in like 4 inches of water, lol. I was really shocked the game was smart enough to fail me for drowning someone who was already unconscious! :eek: One stupid death I’ve done repeatedly is getting somewhere high, making all sorts of noise, and laughing at the idiot guards below as they wonder where the hell I am before falling off my high spot and going KERSPLAT! Wouldn’t you love to be that guard? “Where are you taffer…?” *CRUNCH! AHHG!* “There you are…” what a way for the master thief to die…mwahahaha :laff:

I always die, when my wife shout at me: "Computer is your wife, not me !"
