It's been a while since I ran T2k/M2k, but I used to be a "let the dice fall"-style GM. That led to me offing two PCs for guys in the first fight of their first session. One guy even took a head-shot from the first shot of the NPCs. Funny, they never came back to play again.
In more recent games, not T2k, I've fudged dice to save PCs when it wasn't their fault for dying, especially when it's new players and the player has invested effort in the character's personality. More experienced players who've been hogging the spotlight AND leaving the party stranded while charging the enemy alone, not so much.
