Default Re: OT: the Crocodile Hunter (Steve Irwin) is dead

I agree with AT here !!! Steve Irwin made the anmimal interaction he film appear entertaing and interesting, by adding a measure of danger to a jovial presentation. But never was he "reckless" or "unprofessional". He knew exactly what the limits were with the animals he dealt with, and was actually very wary of unusual behavior.

Getting stung by the Stingray wasn't actually much of an issue, as I understand it. WHERE he got stung was certainly more the issue. I've heard it said that same attack, striking a limb or different area, would've hurt like hell and been something to talk about in a later show. Getting hit in the heart is what made it a fatal accident.
