If I were to build a death machine it would be based on high explosives. I would encase my head in a mound of C4 clay (or perhaps a less stable material). The machine could fail, most likely at the detonator, but it's difficult to imagine how it could maim me.

I agree. I think even with our modern technology we can create a suicide machine that will have a very very high chance of working.
