Haha, yea, I've had similar deaths like it. All you can do is just sit and watch, helplessly until it ends.I think this is my all-time favourite death in Spelunky. The final little contribution from the mammoth cracks me up every single time. The way the whole thing aligns to end in my demise is so chaotically perfect.

Also on another note, fantastic daily on PC today, even got Vlad's Amulet, which I never ever do. Got a new personal highscore of 1.35 mil, though it still only got me a 5th overall. There are still some really talented Spelunky players, playing the daily every day.
