Be careful, Do you want to die? Every day I cross a street intersection with too much traffic and I see people crossing it in a risky fashion. Because of this, sometimes I feel tempted to ask them: Do you wanna die? Of course, asking that would be too rude, but I have the question of how it should be asked, without any intention to do it. 你要不要死？ Nǐ yào bùyào sǐ?

你想死吗？你想一死了之吗？你不想活了吗？你想上西天吗？

If you ask你要不要死, then the person you asked might consider whether you are going to kill him/her.. I guess what you want to ask is are you afraid of dying crossing the road in such a risky way. So the conclusion is, to say 这样过马路非常危险，难道你们不害怕吗？ I should say you'd better avoide the character 死 here, as it would be quite rude if you say it.
