Destroyed Riding a Comet in a Blaze of Glory

There's no good way to ride a comet. If you're far from the sun, you'll freeze in the lonely vacuum of space. If you're close to the sun, you'll get caught in the flaming gas trail following the comet, and cook like beef jerky under a blow torch. If you enter a planet's atmosphere, you'll die, either from the horrors of the planet itself, or by crashing into the surface. The consolation prize is you get to go out looking like Major Kong riding the bomb in Dr. Strangelove.
