Had John Hammond perished on Isla Nublar back in 1993, as he did in Michael Crichton's original novel, the fact that he was the one who brought the dinosaurs back to life in the first place would have guaranteed him a top-five place on this list.

His successor as head of InGen operations, though not quite on the same scale, is in a similar boat. Peter Ludlow was killed by a Tyrannosaurus Rex on the mainland, but guess whose great idea it was to bring the dinosaurs to San Diego?

Ludlow essentially discounted anything Ian Malcolm said about the original park, and began to work on his idea for bringing Jurassic Park to California. It was a bad idea for Hammond to try and build a park 80 miles off the coast of Costa Rica, but for Ludlow to try again, and on the mainland, was unfathomable. The worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas as Ian Malcolm put it.

So, his death was his own doing anyway, but the fact that he willingly entered where the T-Rex was, and tried to threaten and intimidate the juvenile, was as sure fire a way to make sure he suffered a gruesome and grizzly death as he could have managed.
