Permadeath - Fight Cave & Pest Control is Safe

I was worried about dying in Fight Cave and Pest Control as a 10x exp permadeath ironman, and heard a few people echo this question during my month of play.
I took the plunge and created a permadeath ironman account on the test server and died in the Fight Cave.
A notification popped up saying I had died, but all my skills, inventory and bank remained intact!

Yes, safe minigames are safe.
Shocking, isn't it?

Yeah, I just felt like being funny.

It's a valid question, there are times where our safe death code malfunctioned and caused improper deaths. It should be noted that these count as bug deaths, and restoring a backup of the save in cases like these is possible.

Another question that is frequently asked is if you would perma-die when you lose to Thorvald's fourth form in Fremennik Trials.
Unfortunately, I couldn't test this.

I don't think boss fights count as minigames, which kills a lot of hcims in OSRS's Winterdodt

According to the 09 wiki the player death is a normal death. I would imagine with permadeath rules in place that this would mean you’d experience an account wipe since it’s not technically a safe death.
