Yeah, but for the situations in the first, second and last screenshots, you can't get there without using cheats. So you can't get get stuck there normally.

In the case of the pits in level 10, and also in level 9 in the situation of the third screenshot, it's true that you cannot proceed... but at least it's still possible to kill yourself.

Hey, in this case, suicide isn't possible! :)
The spikes never retract (because of the proximity of the impaled guard?), so they stay 'safe' to walk on.
Edit: Ah, I forgot, this one was already discovered by Norbert and discussed by David earlier in this thread.

I found a new way to get stuck in level 2, using this technique :)

I had to push the guard across the loose floor and prevent him from falling down, which turns out to be extremely hard but possible.
Once the guard is precariously on the other edge of the gap (facing right), you can sneak past him to the next room, turn around, then silently approach him from behind with crouch-hops. If you stand up right next to the guard (requires perfect alignment), you can pull him away from the gap.

Did you just casually mention a new trick? :)
I've never heard of that before or seen anyone do this, nor have I ever done it myself.
Would be nice if you could create a video of this...

I tried recording a replay, but I had trouble doing it a second time :P
I could try again later.

On the third picture (level 9), isn't it possible to go back and drop the loose floor on the other side?

See the attached replays (open with SDLPoP).
I got lucky in the first replay, but unfortunately I died before I could get stuck properly. So I made a second replay that shows the last part of the sequence.
There's an extra difficulty factor: you can't hit the blue guard at all, because he only has 3 hp to begin with. (And you need two hits to get him across the gap.)

Nice Falcury.
Myself, like Aram, I was able to get the guard on the opposite edge, but no further.

(Of course, guards can be used like this in several more places. I won't list them all.)

It also works on Level 4... You can't complete the level without dying... Suicide is an option however... Now, as most of the places are mentioned already, it's impossible to find more which don't allow to complete the level as well don't allow you to commit suicide, so let's ignore the suicide case and find more! :)
