Player characters never die from this sort of thing, they
get captured--and taken to the secret hideout, where one of
them falls in love with the Beautiful Hostage.	They suffer
the megalomaniacal ranting of the head villain, then break
out, rescue the hostages and set off massive explosions.
Thhey watch from a safe distance off and conclude the
villain must be dead--"no on could possibly survive an
antimatter explosion within 10 meters!"--even though the
villain's body is never discovered.....

The GM rules the dice, not the other way around.
