But is an unescapable setback "fair"? - In some sense, we can quickly
justify this non-fairness by the way the real world works - life in itself
isn't fair. On the other hand, players are there for their enjoyment. They
expect adequate reasoning for a catastrophic event other then "hey - sh*t
happens". To make an unescapable setback fair, warnings should be in place.
The importance is how that warning is implemented, and this will vary
greatly from presentation type. In text only units, there is generally
"buffer room(s)" and flat out "signs". - Either that or the failed method
which is not warning at the appropriate moment as depicted below:

The graphical variations may give warning through change of scenery, musical
changes (eerie sounding), etc.
Once a warning has been supplied, the situation is no longer classified as
"unescapable". After that point, what happens to the character, is for the
most part, their own doing.
