If he wasnt doing something spectacular, he wouldnt have had a TV show, people arent interested otherwise. He knew what he was doing was risky as hell.
I figured a croc would have got him, not a stingray. A lot of people have been killed by a nasty little animal called an Irikundi jellyfish also. Almost microscopic. In Hawaiian beaches annually also. A well kept secret by the hotel owners and chamber of commerce. Reminds me of Jaws the movie Hahaha !
Steve Irwin was one cool dude with balls of steel, but the odds were against him at the onset.
I saw what a croc can do to somebody down in Nicaragua earlier this year, it was brutal. He knew the risk associated with his popularity. He let his guard down with the stingray. Some people think the risk is worth the chance for some notoriety. Good on em ! God bess em !
