You think that's bad, here's some of the worst I've done:
When the original critical hit charts came out in Dragon magazine, we were experimenting around with them. I was running a fighter, and I ended up killing half of the entire party of 7 adventurerers on the fumble charts. Two of them by rolling 00 and the last one by rolling 4x damage.
In the last Star Wars game we run (d20 just a couple of months ago), I was running a Noble. I He was human. I made the mistake of him piloting a pod racer on Malastat for Gordulla the Hutt (the other hutt in Phantom Menance). The pod racer was set up for two people; a pilot and a gunner and it had an ion gun aimed at the aft section. So I ended up with one of the other PCs as the gunner.
He was a terch spec which I started calling him our trouble shooter. He started trouble on some backwater world then shot it up with the blaster pistol.
So I make some of the more difficult bends around the track, then came the easiest turn we had to do: the course went off a tall clifff and over a large sea. The DC for going off the cliff and going all out was put at a 20 difficulty. Not that difficult to make for a pilot with a pilot of +15. Or so one'd think.
I rolled a 4.
That caused the racer to start tumbling. He let me make another save to correct the course.
I rolled a 3.
So we crashed into the lake. He gave us one chance to survive.
I rolled a 1.
The trouble-shooter almost made it out but got caught in the explosion.
We both died.
Now he shows me up a tiny bit later one in a different game.
This time he's the pilot and I was a Force Adept. We travel through a dense asteroid field.
He rolls a bunch of 1's all in a row.
However, we didn't die because the GM of that particular game had his own policy: that he never killed off characters before they reached 5th level.
So we didn't die, even though should've for hitting major asteroids.
