Yeah, the show was full of some rather would-have-been-gruesome deaths had the heroes not saved the day in the nick of time. One episode was threatening to basically boil April and Irma alive in a giant vat of melted wax, leaving them as creepy wax statues.
Then we have Krang threatening to throw Splinter off a building. He had no problem 'making the rat go splat'.
Shredder didn't give a damn about letting April fall to her death of a building under contruction. Baxter was willing to leave the Turtles to be crunched to bits within the giant gears inside a clock tower.
I mean as incompetent and goofy as OT Shredder was, he was willing to douse Mike with acid and just joke about it as he's be screaming violently as it would have reduced him to goo. That one was probably the sickest one of the entire series.
