Bear training learner in the cage
According to media (online Dayly Mail) "A circus worker mauled to death by a performing bear was 'trying to teach himself how to become a trainer' when he was killed."
"Bulich secretly took the keys to a bear's cage at a top Russian circus on a day off for performers. Confident that he could 'find a common language' with the performing beast, he entered its cage and locked himself inside with the bear."

While we have lots of stories involving people entering cages of wild animals, I don't think any of them are quite as blatantly irresponsible as this one. Given that he snuck in and locked himself inside, rather than trying to start working on "a common language" from the safety of the outside of the cage, I'm willing to accept this.

This will take some research to prove it verifiable, but at face value I think this is worthy of a DA. It's rather like teaching yourself to be an electrician by gutting 11,000 volt power lines with tin shears! Thanks!!!
