REINCARNATION is useless if you have no memory of past life.
If you have new memories you are a new person .
Same thing with clones. If we make a clone of you but can't transfer your memories. You aren't you.

I've heard from somewhere, I believe C2C, that someone remarked on souls having to be restored to put back together after something like that. I wish I remembered the guest or the episode.
It could be so much woo, but it may offer you something.
I think that's the episode that discussed a moon base that was a receptacle for Earth souls.

So..is there ANY KIND OF DEATH you cannot be reincarnated from?
No. Just a Christians believe the souls lost at Hiroshima and Nagasaki go to either Heaven or Hell, reincarnationists believe those souls can reincarnate.
well..not all who accept reincarnation have the same viewpoint.
If you were to die while spelunking alone - would your soul drift out of the cave automatically to a central repository / ship / whatever...or might it get stuck in a deep cave?

Do you know of any who believes an atom-bomb can annihilate a soul so that it can't ever incarnate again?

Or believe it is cursed to be trapped in a bottle for 10,000 years, only to serve the person who opens it by being forced to grant them magical wishes?
As for your latter comment, it sounds like you are mocking reincarnation....

No, I am a "reincarnationist". I believe in reincarnation. I was addressing your proposal that souls can get lost in the deep, should they die there. You suggest that the location of one's death can confuse a soul, I suggest that dogma can confuse and trap one's ability to rise above their physical death and find peace or reincarnate.
I used a genii trapped in a bottle as a mythical example of that. It is obviously an ancient metaphor of exactly that, a soul trapped in dogma.
I believe that some of us are trapped in our own beliefs, become trapped in our own "Hell", until we realize we are not...until we free ourselves from dogma and remember the way home.
"The occultist finds that physical matter exists in seven grades or orders of density, viz. :
Atomic, Subatomic, Super-Etheric, Etheric, Gaseous, Liquid and Solid.
Particles of all these grades enter into the composition of the physical vehicle. The latter, however, has two well-marked divisions, viz., the dense body, composed of solids, liquids and gases, and the Etheric Body, or Double, as it is frequently called, consisting of the four finer grades of physical matter.
It will be our purpose in these chapters to study this Etheric Double; its nature, appearance, functions, its relationships to the other vehicles, its connection with Prâna, or Vitality, its birth, growth and decay,...."

I don't understand the question.
Death is death.
How can the manner of death have any bearing on what follows (assuming anything does follow)?
So to stop cycle must eliminate all karma.
