Olson the Red Shirt

In the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, one of the crew members assigned to disabling the Romulan drill, Olson, wanting to show up the rookies and thinking the drop is all fun and games, waits until the absolute last moment before popping his parachute. Kirk (who normally is reckless but makes the smart decision here) and Sulu pull their chutes at a safe distance above the platform, but Olson turns out to have waited too long, and winds up bouncing off the platform of the drill and dropping right into the path of the mining laser beam, completely vaporizing him and the explosive charges he was carrying for destroying the drill.
