So, every iron has suffered a death or two (or dozens)... Frustrating are those deaths out of your control, like a DC (disconnect), or a game glitch (suddenly 10x DPS hits out of no where). But what about those preventable deaths, that should be avoidable, because your class/race has some decent capabilities? Here are a few I can think of that should never happen:
- Druid drowning, when they have travel form ability. - Mage or Priest or Druid dying from fall damage, with Slow Fall or Levitate or flight form. - Rogue dying when they have Vanish on the ready. - Hunters getting smacked in the face. (Asy says you're doing it wrong.)
What else? Note: On WRA, the Alliance Wowironman guild, next guildie that dies a stupid death becomes the next Guild Coroner as a form of atonement. (My sin was drowning in Theramore going for Thrasher Oil.)

All classes suffer the fate of getting to close to a horde camp and getting the infamous one shot <raises hand>. That's a true Ironman Darwin Award there.

Worst death as an iron: Fatigue. My shortcut didn't work and I had planned to hearthstone out if I couldn't reach my destination in time. Turns out, you have to complete the Hearthstone cast *before* the fatigue bar runs out.
2nd worst death as an iron: First toon in BC content died due to greed. "Just need one more hit on that mob...and I'm dead."
Silliest death, thankfully as a an non-iron: Falling damage in Stormwind's port. Turns out, the stairs are important and there's a big enough drop from the city to the port to be lethal.

Oh thank you for this!! I hate not having a keybind for it. No problem! Do be sure to do a test run a couple inches off the ground. If the macro is working, it won't do anything if you're even one inch off the ground. If the "/stopmacro [flying]" line isn't 100% intact, it's not a no-air-dismount macro...

(The game should give an option to attack or just say "hello!" to other-faction NPC's)

The boat glitch; getting stuck in the middle of the ocean while the ship keeps moving. Falling through old Dalaran because of aborted instance.
