Worst Ways to Die While Playing the Oregon Trail Game

A classic game that is very fun to play. The one goal is to not die before you get to Oregon. Here's the worst ways to die.
The Top Ten
1 Dysentery

Almost every time I play this game someone dies of it. Never actually knew what it was...and now I wish I didn't. Gross.

An infection in the intestines which basically leads to death caused by diarrhea. Fun.

I looked up Dysentery after dying by it. I regret it now.

Ah.
The ever-iconic dysentery.

2 Starvation

Ffs! I survived Bergen Belsen just to starve to death in Oregon Trail. It was easier to steal food from guards than it is to find it on this game!

This is the easiest thing to avoid lol

Do I really need to explain this?

3 Drowning

The river is moving really fast. You fall in. You don't come back out.

4 Dehydration

This is what happens when you don't drink water people.

5 Cholera

Typically spread through untreated water, some symptoms include diarrhea, nausea, and seizures.

6 Attacked by Indians

And you're shot or stabbed. I'm sure that most of you would appreciate it if I don't go into further detail.

7 Fever

Your body gets really warm, and you get dehydrated. Then you die

8 Broken Arm

I'm not even kidding. You can die when this happens... WHY?!?!

This happened to me

9 Snake Bite

Congratulations, your new nightmare

10 Typhoid

Spread through anything you consume, and through contact (hard to avoid in a small wagon), this causes weakness, severe fever, headaches, and constipation or diarrhea, depending on the case.

The Contenders
11 Measles

A viral infection usually only on children, symptoms don't show up for a couple weeks. Symptoms include common cold symptoms, fever, and inflamed eyes.

12 Getting Lost
13 Broken Leg
