yes but only if it meets the following criteria
makes sense (example of not making sense: Legends of Kyrandia 1, just looking at the wrong hotspot would, in some cases, prove fatal)
preferably has an auto-save feature or an automatic undo
fits the story/genre - the chances of dying in Horror House Of Death Murder Mystery makes much more sense than in Cute Annoying Brat Investigates Who Stole The Crying Girls Teddy Bear (or to use a real example, dying in a sequence in Willy Beamish that upon successful completion turns out to just have been a dream... yet dying in it is game over)
