You could use animals that breed on an extremely small area and push each other off, far above the chamber. Find away to block the falling for a while, and you can rain 50 cats on the recruits' heads. Not sure if horrible injury would result from that:

The spinning Kitten strikes the Recruit in the head, shattering the skull! The kitten has lodged firmly in the wound.
On the other hand, surviving that would mean an incredibly badass dwarf with a dead kitten sticking out the top of his head.

For blocking them off, make a 1-square pasture over a retracting bridge or something similar. Accumulate them or send them all at once, then pull the lever and wait for the bits to fly.
Horrible injury will not result; when one creature falls on another, neither will be hurt.

Here's a good design for something like this. It's a Birdfall, and was designed by EveryZig. It's been tested to work. It works off of dodging, though, and is not entirely predictable.
