Given the power of the unified Infinity Stones, had Thanos decreed half the universe out of existence without specifying himself as an exclusion?
Could he have accidentally wiped himself out?
The previous 'similar' questions referred to everyone else and not the bearer specifically.
The answer of this seemingly similar question states: "It appears to be determined by the wielder"
But this doesn't answer the question specifically, although it says "...the randomness appears to be true randomness, but this is by conscious design".
But no where do we see Thanos excluding himself from this randomness.
Thus going back to the original question: Could he have accidentally wiped himself out?
Answer
Thanos (probably) included himself in the lottery.
According to a Q&A session that the Russo Brothers gave, Thanos does appear to have included himself in the random selection process. Note that he's never portrayed as anything other than a true believer in his own plan, one that he's literally willing to sacrifice his own children (and himself) in order to fulfil.
Q. What’s the possibility of Thanos killing himself when he snaps?
Russo: The possibility of him doing it?
Student: Yeah
Russo: As a part of his random execution? He could’ve- and you can ask if he allowed himself to be a part of that random process. He does have a very interesting look on his face. When we come back to him after the snap, before he disappears, a look of surprise.
