Couldn't a similar thing happen if I'm BARELY in cover in a nuclear war? So the blast is so strong it gets through the bunker but the bunker protects me enough that rather than getting incinerated in a millisecond I get severely injured to fuck, paralyzed and die a slow agonizing death?
Hmm. So it looks like the best option is to stay out into the open so I can feel the full force of blast and die instantly
In all seriousness, I'm not convinced by the whole "quick death is better" thing. A more painful death in a millisecond is far worse than a slow death, IMO.

If you are concerned about suffering a lingering death from radiation poisoning, and want to end your life quickly and painlessly, the nitrogen exit method is the real deal. If you manage to get fried in a nuclear fireball (that's my big brother, lol), you will never know what hit you.
See above. I think instant deaths are often more painful.
I'll take "quick" for a True Daily Double myself, Alex. Try watching someone die of liver failure or cancer ... it ain't pretty and there's still no do-overs.
