Chappaquiddick  

The Chappaquiddick incident refers to the circumstances surrounding the 1969 death of Mary Jo Kopechne, a former staff member in Senator Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. Edward Kennedy was driving a car with Kopechne as his passenger when the Senator drove off Dike Bridge into the channel between Chappaquiddick Island and Martha's Vineyard. The Senator swam to safety, but Kopechne died in the car. Kennedy left the scene and did not call authorities until after Kopechne's body was discovered the following day. He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and was sentenced to two months in jail, suspended.

chappaquidditch

A dangerous game played by witches and wizards while riding in Oldsmobile Delmont 88 sedans; da game consists of players' trying to swiftly traverse a narrow unlit bridge at nighttime, without falling off da edge.
I dunno if Ted Kennedy and/or Mary Jo Kopechne were attempting an impromptu game of "chappaquidditch" on that fateful night in mid-July of 1969, but I cannot see how they would have even known about da game at dat time, since da "Harry Potter" authoress had only been born less than four years earlier, and so she could not possibly have started writing her famous novels till much later.
