Would dying be a painful process ?
I would imagine, not much. As parts of the body and brain start to shut down, ability to feel pain / emotions would be affected. A person would eventually become unresponsive. There would be no response to any kind of stimulus and no internally generated thoughts; or maybe just a garbled mix of things as the brain goes through the process of shutting down. It would ofcourse depend on how long the process lasts and the cause that initiated the process. But still, after a particular stage it really wouldn't make much of a difference.
What do you think ? 
i've seen some pretty painful deaths in my time, also it really depends on what you die of renal failure would be a bitch it takes days to die
don't go there...be cool
How about just not dieing so you don't need to worry about this.
Really depends on what you die of. I know that living is a painful enough process for some.

Speaking of dragging things into the gutter ...
Of course, depending on how you die. I've been with quite a few people in their last hours, people who did not die comfortably...and it's not pretty. I truly hope I die of a heart attack in my sleep. If not, I want to go to a hospice when I'm palliative.

It depends on how you die, naturally, and how you interpret death. Actions, for example, can be seen as states, processes or points, and the way you see them certainly affect your whole experience.
Death can only be seen as a state after you're dead, so it doesn't concern us here. But, you can't see it as process either - like writing or swimming - because even though you can write a letter, for example, and that has an end (i.e. the end of the letter), you can start scribbling and, even before you finished anything, you can say you were writing. With death, you can't say "Oh, I died a bit, and then I came back" - you can say you were unconscious, and/or your heart stopped and doctors brought you back, but the act of dying implies that you kicked the bucket and you're a goner. So I'm going to refer to death as a "point", an instantaneous action.
After all, if you're crossing a street and a lorry hits you full speed (or if you take a bullet in your head), that's it, you're history, and there's nothing you can feel. What you can feel is what happens before death - which isn't death itself, even though these events (such as a long sickness) can be the ultimate cause of your demise. But, death can't be lived, as it is not part of life.
It's hard to go beyond that because of the endless possibilities of what may happen in an afterlife: many Brazilian spiritualists think your soul (if there's one) feel the pain inflicted to your body; but, an eliminative materialist would simply say that once consciousness ceases to exist, it's nonsense to talk about feelings, as there will be no consciousness around to feel them.

I reckon 300+ clicks on a moto then hitting something really solid would be an awesome way to go. (Not that I'd actually try it!)
it's probably like in Terminator 2 when the T-1000 shoves a metal rod through Arnold's spine and his CPU shuts off, but then it routes to an alternate power source and he pulls out the rod and uses it to beat the shit out of the T-1000. I find that most things in life can be explained by Terminator 2.
I saw some pictures of a car accident the other day, story made short the Truck ran over the girls head.
I Imagine it was just a quick ARGHHH!
The best part about dying is going to be DMT.
