In this context, I consider it high-lethality if PCs go splat from 
random dice rolls. (This is similar to a criterion used in 
non-interactive fiction. Not identical, since a literal random number 
generator isn't used, but when a novel or movie protagonist dies from 
something like a stray bullet that _looks_ random, we consider this 
unusually lethal.)

Which ones? I've never seen one that does as far as I can recall, but 
while I've seen a lot of game systems, there are undoubtedly also a lot 
that I haven't seeen; maybe I've missed some.
