I'm sure with a little ingenuity you could rig up stringman to stab you to death!

Getting it to be forceful enough would be a bit interesting. Could certainly slowly strangle you in the cabling.

Drop a sharp item on you from a sufficient height? :/

It could also strangle you super fast, see here; Red Cable Robots Video[1]

Depending on how high your ceilings are, dropping items from height could be quite uncomfortable.

Honestly I had been thinking more in terms of a crossbow/harpoon type attachment. Fire, rewind, tension up, fire again etc.

> Could certainly slowly strangle you in the cabling

Reminds me of the engineer who accidentally strangled himself with his contraption:

> He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to help others lift him from bed. He became entangled in the ropes and died of strangulation at the age of 55. However, he is better known for two of his other inventions: the tetraethyl lead (TEL) additive to gasoline, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). - "The Man Who Accidentally Poisoned the Planet Twice": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.

That's straight out of Douglas Adams.

"Grunthos was reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book epic entitled "My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles" when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.
