This was my favorite.:
Snippety Snip.:
"(10-23-99) 04:00 PDT YOSEMITE -- A protest against rules banning the sport of parachuting from cliffs in national parks went horribly awry yesterday when a veteran jumper plunged to her death from the top of El Capitan in Yosemite."
The Ironic Snippet.:
"Davis went over the edge about 2 p.m., a National Park Service spokesman said, the fourth of five jumpers planning to demonstrate the safety of the sport known as BASE jumping."

Not in the story linked, but Jan Davis had borrowed a friends gear because the park rangers were going to confiscate the jumpers equipment and she didn't want to lose her expensive equipment.
Hmmmm..., I guess it don't matter now.
