You mean when hanging was common....
I'll bet more than a few did. Back then, tolerance was very low for many crimes. Bad mouthing the King or even not repaying a loan was subject to possible death!
Hanging is still used but more common in the third world countries.

Didn't the inventor of the guillotine get beheaded by his own devise? I imagine some people did die by their own creations if they were found guilty by the law of the region.

I think they made them stand under something they were building. If it fell over, the only one hurt was them.
