I've tried navigating that document, it's not clear to me where your ordering came from. FWIW 'penultimate' means second from last, suggesting that there is an 'ultimate' risk even more feared than death. I believe that's what GP was asking about.

Ah, sorry for not expounding further. I did understand what the GP was conveying, but I’m just saying:

It is common to consider some situations as being worse than death.

I suspect that most reasonable readers of that classification manual would be able to identify a selection of situations that could lead to being considered worse than death.
