Well, In-Character we don't really have much reason to believe that it really is non-fatal since we've seen plenty of the other team die gruesomely and have been tricked and cheated at every turn.

I agree with this, but outside of the current convo's context. I REEEEAAAALLLY doubt you'd get anything more than a gold star with 'You Tried' on it for this mission. But yeah, the fact we've seen others die gives the characters themselves pretty good reason to believe this is fatal.
