Given that it'd already killed someone, I'm going to nominate the second guy who thought he could cowboy criticality testing with the Demon Core at Los Alamos.
By coincidence, at this moment I am camped on a mountain overlooking the Los Alamos NL.

Don't forget to stop at Bathtub Brewery before you head out!
