An article on the 5 most embarrassing ways to die in a first-person shooter, found on UpUp Media (via Kotaku), touches every little detail regarding the lol-followed lucky frags of the opponent, when we're talking FPSs that use grenades, take one's last health point when they're being stepped on, use damage for falling off high ledges and cliffs, use embarrassingly low powered weapons that can actually get you a frag if you know how and of course, FPSs that use teleportation... at least one of those contributed to your death once.

Here's the list beginning with no. 5 and ending with no. 1 (obviously...):

5 - The "Other" Nade Kill
4 - Crushing People
3 - Cratering
2 - The Shank
1 - The Telefrag

Of course, these are the top ways to die in a FPS, but I'm sure that other genres have embarrassing ways to kill you too. Take games where lots of questing is involved and in which there are few save points scattered around.
