This one needs to be rewritten:

"Dennis Nedry has crashed his jeep while trying to give some stolen DNA to Biosyn, a rival company. There's a sign nearby that points to a dock where Nedry is supposed to hand the DNA over. You'd Expect: Nedry would see the sign and head for the dock by foot. He still has the DNA, so the jeep is no loss. Instead: Nedry tries to pull the jeep down the falls. He slips, loses his glasses, gets confronted by a Dilophosaurus, is blinded by its acidic spit, and is eaten. He loses the DNA, which is buried under mud."

Why? Because the jeep crash screws up the sign's arrow, as clearly illustrated by the shot where he lifts it up, wonders which way it was meant to point, and spins it in angry frustration. If he had followed it from the start, without questioning what happened to it, it may or may not have led him to the dock, but that had a good chance of being a stupid decision in itself. By trying to salvage the jeep and figure out what to do from there, he's at least being careful as it will provide more protection than heading on foot with no real way of knowing which way to go.

I agree and vote that we delete it entirely.
