I'm kinda surprised there isn't anything like this, cause it could have some fun stories. Anyway, what are you worst deaths due to your own (or perhaps other players) incompetence? (and if you learned something from that).
For me, I had a Wizard in Act 3 (making it worse, it was on normal). I started to use disintegrate, and all of a sudden, something like 5 of those random meteors that hit on the Stonefort came crashing down on me. Before I knew it, I was dead. Didn't even have time to react, didn't even see the circles signalling something was incoming.
Cause of that, I now refuse to use channeling spells, with the possible exception of Zombie Bear, cause using one I wouldn't be looking at my character, I'd be looking at the target, which meant I couldn't see if I was about to be killed. ZB is so short range, I think I can look at both.
My first monk (Hyper) had a brush with death in A2 in the vault of the assassins where I encountered a waller, poison, arcane beam pack. I thought I could handle it, but a beam got dropped right on top of me and I panicked and ran. Right into a wall. With another pack on the other side. Jailer, descecrator, horde! I got jailed in a poison desecrate pit surrounded by dudes and I actually slumped in my chair, accepting death. Lo, my follower or sweeping wind killed something, and I leveled, going instantly back to full health! I struck out, my 7 sided strike coming back off cool down and was enough to tip the scale, I had survived!!
Fast forward to A3, level 59.9999 going down the tower. I hit a pack of the ape like guys that took everything I had to kill and just as I killed them a brute pack with natural teleport came out of nowhere. I panicked and ran back up the spiral since I was close to the door. Everything was on cooldown, no serenity, no 7 sided strike, no heal spell. I made it to the door and turned around, confident that worse case I could just click through the door. Suddenly I was jailed. In a desecrate pit! A big guy teleports on top of me and hits me for half of my health and I click frantically on the door and those dreaded words pop up on the screen. Ugh.
Hypertwo only made it to level 46 when I thought I'd do a couple quick runs at 6:30 AM before I had to leave for work and promptly died on the very.first.door when I punched into a pack of fallen maniacs. Derp!
I've only played hardcore once and stopped after my monk died.
Umm...
IIRC, it was between 4 - 5 a.m. after I came back from a night out at the bars with a bunch of buddies. For some odd reason, I came home and didn't go immediately to sleep, and instead hopped on D3.
So I was sort of inattentive and threw my level 42 monk into a pack of Vicious Magewraiths with Molten, Waller, Desecrate... or something nasty like that.
My monk died because I chose to sit there with Serenity on cooldown. Yep.
...OH but I resurrected her on softcore. IT COUNTS.
60 (6) DH - got 2 shot for stepping into icefall, died in 0.001 seconds
59 DH - stepped on an arcane sentry bubble after the whole fight was done, trying to loot a blue off the floor, died in 0.65 seconds
53 DH - lag bomb
53 DH - lag bomb
51 wizard - wasn't geared enough for hell, didn't want to spend money on him, only wanted to play him till he died. still, was looking forward to hitting 60. 2 packs of elites got together and bukkake'd on my face.
42 DH - logging on and then getting out of the room before the screen popped. a single spider killed me.
36 DH - alt tabbing with no pause, alt tab back and dead
Just died on my lvl 60 (15) Wizard. I had a lucky run with Stormshield and Tal Rasha's off hand drop. I was so happy but i died so fast to a Scavenger elite with Fast and Teleport..... couldn't kite
I was playing very concentrated at D3 , then my cat decide to jump on my computer tower , doing that he pressed the reset button, all of a sudden my computer was rebooting. Only to find my character dead at the logging screen, Cat wanted some attention,
I still love my cat , but since that accident i installed a rigid plastic plate on top of the reset and On/OFF buttons.

I didnt notice the check point was in front of the bridge, so i alt+tab out the game to view internet and chat with my friends
I also didn't turn on play sound at background. so after about 5 minutes i returned to the game
and i saw three champion bees around me... along with my corpse lol
Yeah... my dps wasn't high enough. I got bbq'd.
And may the odds be ever in your favour.
