I was wondering when that guy would get himself killed, considering that his entire TV career revolved around poking, prodding and otherwise bugging the shit out of poisonous/dangerous animals.  |

Well to be honest, I'd laugh at the guy if I was the type who laughs all that much. As I said before, the guy made a career out of pissing off poisonous or otherwise dangerous animals for his own amusement (and eventually the amusement of others); he was bound to recieve Darwin's Revenge sooner or later. Hell, the guy once dangled his infant son in front of a crocodile with a slab of meat in his other hand, for Christ's sake.
I have a hard time feeling bad about the passing of a guy who put his newborn son at risk for the sake of a cheap laugh and/or some publicity.

when you look at it that way yea, and Bolt, there's a difference between Own't and LOLZ NUB.
on a second note, many people find it funny that he finally got killed by one of these animals and frankly i can't say i'm very surprised, from the first time i've seen that show i've been expecting it and waiting for it to happen. =/ and i did laugh, i'm not ashamed either, It's funny in an ironic and sick way =o

He wasn't going to die of old age at any rate.

What makes it interesting is that supposedly stingrays are naturally very docile. Maybe it was just a fluke occurrence and Irwin ran into the one in a million stingray that was out for blood, but I have to think that Irwin had something to do with this ray becoming irritated/frightened enough to puncture his heart with its barb.

The death is on film. They have the stingray stinging him in his heart through his chest, Steve pulling it out, and passing out right afterwards. Although, I don't know if they will release it to the public. It is held by the police right now and only his wife can give the authorization to release it. The question is, would you watch it?  Honestly, I would just to see what really happened. *EDIT* I heard rumors of Steve swimming above the stingray and the camera man got to close and startled the stingray, causing it to shoot it's barb up for protection. On a side note, www.cnn.com/2006/US/09/03/chicago.fire.ap/index.html A sad day indeed... |

Yes and their poison is very deadly. Even if he did leave it in, he would have still died.

Hell, the guy once dangled his infant son in front of a crocodile with a slab of meat in his other hand, for Christ's sake. I have a hard time feeling bad about the passing of a guy who put his newborn son at risk for the sake of a cheap laugh and/or some publicity. He never 'dangled' anything. Nor did it as any cheap laugh. Do not plost false stuff that hear you from idiots without getting information on your own; it just spreads the lies. Maybe try watching the video of it yourself. The baby was tucked under his arm while he fed the alligator. Was never dangled or put into any real danger. He knew exactly what he was doing and how to control the alligator. You can find more information about it from an interview with him from other sources that reveal more of the truth. People just exgerate things to try to slander him. Don't fuel it. |

Exaggeration or no, feeding a very large crocodile (4 meters!) with a dead chicken in one hand and a dead-chicken-sized infant in the other is more than a little reckless. Even professionals can be injured or taken off-guard by dangerous animals, as this latest accident attests.
[edit]And it's hard to argue that he wasn't just shooting for publicity, as the child was obviously too young to be learning anything.[/edit] Hyperbole aside, the criticism stands valid in my eyes.
Anyway, considering his chosen profession, you can't really say it's surprising that things turned out this way.

excuse, you wouldn't know what i do or do not know as well as whom i know and what they know. He might have pulled it out out of reaction to the pain and frankly, you can't say that he DID realize or know what he was doing cause you don't know that and no one ever will since he's DEAD.
if something is lodged in your heart, yes you can bleed internally and get damage and stuff, but if you pull that thing out you have a higher risk of death as opposed to letting it sit there and letting it be surgically removed by professionals.
Just because someone is an expert on dangerous animals means nothing when it comes to knowing what to do when stabbed in the heart by the barb of a dangerous animal, ESPECIALLY if he didn't realize it was lodged in his heart.
you come here with the sense of "I'm right you're wrong that's all there is to it" Don't act superior, although you make think you are, you're not.

I never acted superior on anything. I was only stating that most likely he has had alot of training on those situations and would know best what to do. He isn't just an expert on dangerous animals, he also an expert in how to handle them and how to react to them. Don't act like you know how I think and don't interpret my intentions into your own as if thats they I meant anything. Don't need to start any flaming here. What I do think however is maybe he is surperior in knowledge of how to react to such things. Not myself. |

it's been stated by many people that pullin the Barb out is what did more damage, since it would have made the hole bigger and it was in his heart, and you can't exactly tell me how to interpret something =/ it's all in how you say something
