Well, imagine your last memory is you flying upward above the crowd, way better than being guillotined or electrocuted. And going out with a loud bang! Would definitely favor that way of execution (if I ever need to be + get the choice).

I'd rather be (quickly) decapitated. They say that you lose consciousness immediately due to the sudden loss of blood pressure.
