You forget you are playing HL, and you think you are playing CS, so you pull the pin on a grenade and hold it for a while, and BOOM! You are gibbed.

Your playing Half life 2 and you suddenly hear your mum call you so you look away but continue to hold forwards and thus walk off a cliff.

Charging the gauss rifle in HLDM and are ready to shoot someone and you miss. The laser richochets off the wall and gibs you.

HL: get killed with the crowbar, from the front. Or, get sniped with the pistol when you have the crowsbow(I did that before)
HL2: You were using the gravity gun to make a base, and when you pick something flat, it throws you into the wall (I did that before in main game)

HL1: Try pulling a func_pushable up a ramp, and 9/10 times your both hurdled high into the air, where you die quickly on the return to earth
HL1: I was running away from snarks Hunter unleashed on me, and ran into a trip mine I had just set up

HL1: Throw a grenade instead of a satchel. Or forget where you set a satchel and press the button to detonate it only to realise its under the water your standing in.
HL2: Try and Drive the buggy with the rollermines on and fail. Damn cliff. Or trying to swin in the sea to see what happens. Scared the crap outta me!

In CS:S, use quick weapon switch to last weapon used, except that the last weapon wasn't the Deagle, it was a frag grenade. It bounced against the wall and exploded in my face.

HL1: When fighting Nihalith, using the jump pads to get right up to the top of the map, concentrating so hard on killing him you dont notice you are falling back down towards the large spikes at the bottom of the level and insta gib when you hit the top of the spike. I had this image of myself being impailed all the way down to the bottom.

HLDM: Get pwned with the corwbar, when you have the egon + 100Hp (yup.. Muzz did that with me :P), plant a tripmine and blow yourself up with it after 15 secs. (It happened to me once. I planted a trip in a corridor and walked away, when I noticed someone else (don't remember if it was Hunter or SpaG) with the shotgun coming out the nearest corner. Since I had the pistol, I ran backwards and.. booom!! beep beep beeeeep)
HL: Trying to turn a hgrunt turret off, by using it.
Cs 1.6: To pwn noobs in a very fun way, do this:
Get a scout and a deagle. Once ya have a noob in mid-range with the scout, don't shoot him yet (or miss him on purpose), once he sees that you're 'helpless', he'll go all 'cool' and jump ya with the knife. When he's in the air, take yer deagle out and boom boom headshot! I've done this a couple a' times and it works
HL2: Think that the shockmines are gravity gun ammo and try picking them up

this may not be the worst way to die, but its THE MOST ANNOYING!!!
Ok, so your playing Citizens Arrest level or wateva, running like mad around the streets, smearing the guts of any and every combine that you see, of course followed closely by your trusty group of friends - or are there?
suddenly, you're ambushed. attacked from all sides by combines, and your going down. The only thing you can do is hide - argh... you see a doorway - the perfect hiding place!
so you run over, (followed closely - still!) and you get to the doorway, and who is standing there, minding their own buisness... one of your friends You try to get past, but she's blocking your path.
so... you die, there, in front of the doorway... and you can here is a women's voice... repeating over and over again...
"sorry freeman"
"watch out"
"sorry... didn't see you there"
"heh"
"careful"
"sorry"
"ill try not to get in your way"
"yeah... let's go"
[i] THEY ARE NOT FRIENDS... THEY JUST GET IN YOU BLOODY WAY!!![/i]
thanks for listening!

A funny way in HL2 to die (which i did) is when your in ravenholm, under one of the rotating blade traps luring zombies and headcrabs in. And once they're all dead, forgetting about the blade and standing up...

Wow how could I forget... Maybe not the most ridiculous, but getting killed by a melee weapon--crowbar, knife, shovel, etc-- is always very, very sad, especially when your shooting at the person and they kill you anyway!

I always used to enjoy playing multiplayer with Urb, if he ever had to answer the phone or leave the PC to do something for 2 mins id find him, go over to him and stick a load of tripmines all over him!
Wait for him to come back, he moves and BOOM!!

In HL2: I was shooting a cop at close range with the smg and exidently presst the wrong mousbutton luckily i didnt die but the explosion did set an exploding barrel on fire so it exploded. The explosion didnt kill me (just got me down to 1hp) but when i was running away from it (i didnt stop directly when it exploded) i fell down from somthing and the fall killed me...

Woah.. 
I just remembered something simmilar.
I was about to quicksave, but I accidentaly pressed the RMB, while pressing F9. That way I ended up with ~15 HP, a ruined quicksave and tons of snipers ahead (the part, where barney is pinned down on the roof.)

hahaha this hasn't happened to me before, but I do it alot.
CS:S When you just used all of your ammo and neither of you are dead, your opponet pulls out his knife. Instead of knifing him, you just run backwards and reload, then shooting him for a free kill. I did this with like 4 people chasing me it was hilarious.

ooh yes! self snarking. baad.
btw, healspray is an attack done by the basic building unit in NS. the gorge has no good attacks and little health. the healspray happend to do 1 damage a second, but there is a limit to how much you can use it in one go. so for omeone to die from healspray, they would have to not know how to use an FPS...

I launch an explosive barrel with the physgun and the guy i fire it at catches it and launches it back. It misses me but a third guy caught it again, he fired it at the both of us as we attacked eachother with crobars and double-killed us. It was a crobar and physgun server btw.

my most rediculous way to die is being killed by an npc - because im that good i never die!!
actually i die alot more than the usual because im bad at games in general.
Probably whilst hl2 is loading i keep clicking the buttons (stupid yes) ans when it does load - BOOM a 'nade or rocket is fired at the ground.

In "Opposing Force", I used my crowbar to smash a shitload of crates, trying to find anything useful in them. I just held down the primary fire button and kept going...
...until I smashed a crate that contains a rocket launcher, and because I was still holding down the fire button, I launched a rocket at my ankle.
It wasn't pretty, but I laughed out loud. I bet that was a trap the mapper intentionally placed in there.
