I am a veteran of Hardcore, I wouldn't change a thing about how it is in Diablo 2, there just seems to be one thing that bugs me.
Scripted Events.
Consider the gameplay video, Did you see the boss fight? I'm willing to assume that the barbarian had a good amount of health left, and perhaps him getting his entire upper body ripped off and thrown across the landscape was a "random scripted event"
Can you imagine that happening in Hardcore? You just fight a boss and all of a sudden, with full health, it picks you up and eats you.
I think the death of the barbarian in the gameplay video was mainly to show what diablo 3 was capable of and whats included in the game. but then again it may be apart of the game where you can be killed at any time regardless of how much health you have, who knows at this stage.
Dont worry, It was just all for show mainly
Thats why the character whom the camera was following stood behind the big demon and stood still, so everyone could get a good look
i think it is just some animation of death. for example when barbar lost his HP and it take one shot to kill him then play this animation of death. just watch for your HP)))
I am hoping this was for show. If there is a hardcore mode (and I seriously hope there is) this is definetly going to make things .. interesting :-)
Well anyways if you happened to die in a boss fight it would be EXTREMELY AWESOME to have that kind of animation there Boss bites your head off So COOL.
So basically perhaps the boss is scripted so that when he checks players healths and if one goes to 0 he will grab that and do the animation would be nice if this kind of things happens in the world .)
Actually, a scripted death would be perfect because I would pull my power cord before he bit my head off!
Also, I discussed this with my friends already! The reason the siegebreaker kills the other characters is because they are probably just considered "NPC party members" and not actual player characters. HAHA. I'm right!
As a Hardcore player as well when I saw that to me it registered as sort of a finishing move to a player that would normally be at low health and would die with one more hit.

Im pretty sure the barbarian fighting wasnt the same one from before. You also notice that right in the beginning it grabs one of the Witch Doctors and slams em to the ground killing them instantly.
Personally I dunno if it was for show, or some kind of special death animation. I am hoping for the latter because it was damn awesome.
I believe they were just showing off death animations not scripted events.

Just want to bring this issue to the table.
