      your savebed map.  And you would die many many many times.  
     
     
  That is certainly possible.  but as said, there is no real way to prevent all 
these possible ways to die.

  the savebed spaces are already no magic, so the player would have to move off 
the space to cast the spell.

  That's the basic problem - any method that comes up with to prevent accidental 
player death is likely open to some abuses also.  But it seems a bit unlikely 
that people would bother to carry back chests.  Plus, that still doesn't help 
out if the trap is something like a poison needle and not a spell.
