Other causes of death or Rockbursts, Mee-thane Cave-ins. Getting run over by an ore hauler. Being milled. Being leached. Being crushed. Being fire assayed. Being drilled. Being sampled (this can also be fun.) Drinking molten gold. These are all ways of dying in a gold mine.

The Future of Human Longevity: A Demographer's Perspective John R. Wilmoth One of the greatest achievements of modern civilization has been the enormous reduction in human mortality. Life expectancy at birth, among early humans, was likely about 20 to 30 years (1). By 1900, the average length of life in industrialized nations had doubled relative to this historical extreme. Now, as we approach the year 2000, life expectancy at birth is around 80 years in Japan and a few other countries, and its rise continues unabated. demog.berkeley.edu The question that you may have to ask yourself is do I wish to die of starvation at age 25 or cancer at age 80. And I do believe that it is a fact of life that we will all die sometime. We do not replicate ourselves and divide like a single cell organism.
