Poor fella, drowning would be a terrible way to go. 

 

Doesn't take much to change the course of the day.  A mouthful of water down the wrong pipe.  A seemingly benign fall, just a few feet, hit your head just right, and it's lights out.  

 

The intelligent design guy in the sky ought to come up with a prototype better suited to this planet.
