Whilst I haven't played for years, when I did death was part of the game. Whilst I didn't purposely go out of my way to kill characters, if it happened it happened. The other characters grieved then moved on. And the dead character's player would generally enjoy the challenge of creating a new character, incoroprating that character into the group, etc.
I did once have a player who wanted his character killed off as he felt that his character had grown stale and had no room for further development.
Also, I found that if players knew that potentially their character could die, it discouraged them from trying really dumb stunts.
