"He" = H? A? M? Was what killed him the same thing he thought he was saved from? Regarding his comment, had he been in danger? Battle relevant? | ||

Was he in danger of dying? Had he committed a crime? Was he the victim of a crime? Is crime relevant at all? Did he die immediately after making the comment? | ||

Did he die seconds after making the comment? Minutes? Hours? Days? Was he in danger from an illness? Is illness relevant? | ||

Did he die seconds after making the comment? this Minutes? or possibly this Hours? Days? Was he in danger from an illness? well, DOYD of illness, but no, I think that would be more confusing than clarifying Is illness relevant? | ||

From the puzzle statement, does "saved" refer to... salvation of the soul? rescued from danger? successfully avoided death or injury? something else? | ||

Was he murdered? Did he die from an accident? from suicide? Were other people involved in his death? responsible for it? was he tortured? Did he, when he said that he is saved, already know that he is going to die in a few minutes? Did the "I'm saved" in any way imply that he? his friends? his relatives? would benefit from what happened? | ||

Did he, by doing what he had done to avoid the death #1, provoke the fall of the object that finally killed him? Did he try to commit suicide, but changed the decision in the last moment? | ||

Was he killed by a falling tree? no, but you're very much OTRT! Did he almost fall out of the tree? not quite sure if I'm able to visualise that one, but no tree is involved, so no. | ||

A falling cactus? YES!! Or a cactus limb, that is did he think he was saved because he found water? YES! did he die trying to reach it? yes, you could say that I believe all the pieces have fallen into place, so it's time for a.... *****SPOILER***** A man has been wandering through the desert, his thirst ever growing. Finally he stumbles upon a giant cactus. He remembers that cacti are filled with water and that you can just cut off a piece of it and drink the water. Joyfully he gets his knife and cuts off one of the arms of the cactus. What he didn't realize was how heavy a giant cactus is - it can actually weigh almost 5000 pounds when fully hydrated. The cactus limb falls onto the man, killing him. Great job! Thanks for playing! | ||

Well, it's never a good idea to cut off anything hanging just above you, no matter how thirsty you are. Nice puzzle! |
