It's been the cause of many First Bloods and it has happened to every single Dota player at least once. You and your laning partner get the jump on an enemy hero and cast your spells accordingly. With only a hundred health left, the enemy tries to make an escape and limps towards the tower. Confident, or perhaps delusional in your abilities, you decide that you can live through tower damage. You don't and that hero is now 300 gold richer. Check out a compilation of bad tower dives below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scOqYwjW-1w Greed is a powerful thing. Don't let it control your otherwise rational thinking. Tower diving is something that is reserved for late game, when you actually have the items to keep you alive, or if you have a hero who can tank the damage (Axe, Medusa, etc.). Even then, do not try and dive unless you are 100% sure that you can secure a kill. Staying back and playing it safe usually pays off in the end. Remember that Dota 2 is about destroying towers more than killing enemy heroes.
