Another World comes to mind. Its first playable part has you land in a watery pit, and you'll be dragged down to your death if you don't swim away. It's not a very good sequence, though, because it's hard to tell what is even happening, due to the graphical quality and the suddenness of the situation, and most people will die right away and be confused.

Didn't Gears of War 2 do this? Haven't played it in a long time and I kinda forget.
