Which deaths are better?

I'm writing a story and it mostly contains weird deaths (containing alternatives). I'm aware this is in the wrong category, I'm on iPad and it glitches when I try to choose. 

1.) Ruth is in the supermarket looking at the glass bottles of bleach sitting on the shelves. When she looks in the sale basket, a man next to her accidentally knocks the bottles on the shelf over. They fall like dominos until the end one falls off the shelf and smashes on Ruth's face. Bloody-faced, she falls on the ground screaming as the man calls poison control.As she's about to get up, Death's presence knocks down a sale sign which strikes the basket, knocking it over and smashing more bottles of bleach on Ruth's face, severely her skin. She accidentally ingests enough bleach to burn her insides and kill her.

Alternative: Ruth is making dinner in the kitchen and is oblivious to see that a broken plastic piece of fridge has fallen into her ready meal. She puts it in the microwave and opens a bottle of vodka on the counter. The phone rings and she walks out to answer it. The side of the microwave sparks and catches fire, which spreads to the cereal boxes nearby. One of them falls over a glass of water she was drinking earlier, spilling water all over the floor. The fire gets nearer the vodka. Ruth puts her friend on hold as the fire alarm blares and she is shocked to see the fire. She tries to walk to it but slips on the water. The fire reaches the vodka, causing an explosion and a piece of microwave flies and strikes the ceiling fan, causing it to fall and the blades impale Ruth's chest.

2.) Ryan is trashing an enemy's car, which is in repairing. The engine (faulty) is still running after being tested and the mechanic had walked off to deal with another customer. Ryan's foot get stuck in the windshield and a tin of engine oil falls on the pedal, making the car drive backwards and causing Ryan to fall and hit his head, causing KO.As it drives, tins of petrol and more engine oil fall from the dashboard, out of the open window. They land next to a lit cigarette the mechanic had accidentally dropped earlier. The car's faulty engine causes it to stop on a train track. Ryan awakens and escapes as a train strikes the car. He falls out relieved and lands next to the lit cigarette and tins of petrol and engine oil. The tins burst open and this causes Ryan to be set alight as the liquids react with the cigarette.

Alternative: Ryan is chased by a police officer when he is caught vandalizing. Ryan is almost run over on the road and he is startled and runs into a construction pole, making him fall face-down. A construction worker on the scaffolding above almost falls from the vibrations and he accidentally knocks over a hammer. The hammer falls and a sharp end digs into Ryan's head, fracturing his skull.

Which death is better from each of the two?
