You /can/ commit suicide! I provided an arrow as
'cyanide', but you have to time your jump very accurately to
hit it! :-)

I was aware of that, but
I thought I could get away with one or two traps in
the game (the other is in "THESA FET YZ ON E"). To
have a couple of traps adds tension, without the
frustration of having them all over the place. It's not too
unfair if you just have to learn about a couple of traps
once you're familiar with the game.
