shovelheadt 71 Posted September 4, 2006 I expected something bloodier. As much as he's done, to get taken out by a fluke stingray poke is pretty cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill E. 703 Posted September 4, 2006 I expected something bloodier. As much as he's done, to get taken out by a fluke stingray poke is pretty cheap. Â Really. I dive around Stingrays all the time in murky rivers. I always worry a little bit about getting stung. I knew those stings were very painful, but never thought of them as deadly.

Bill E. 703 Posted September 4, 2006 Apparently they're not, it just happened to pierce his heart. Â It makes sense, that would do it. I have always worried about the rays more than sharks or gators, because stings are much more common. I saw a couple of them Saturday. I usually dive four days a week so I figure some day it might all catch up with me. It is too bad about his death. I was not a big fan, but like someone said, he was an interesting character.

It always sucks to see someone die that was actually a well liked, contributing member of society. He's done a ton of good sh*t for the Australian Zoo. Â I was SHOCKED! just because I read it on CNN at like 4 am and it was just so weird to read. I was very sad, not quite to the point of tears, much more sad than a make believe person getting into a make believe accident. Â Why isnt everyone falling out sad?

Thin Spirit 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Like edjr, I was shocked when I read it, more of a 'i can't believe i'm reading this' type feeling. Â Two young kids who were his world and a wife that he was incredibly close with, left behind, I feel so sorry for them.

lambert58 73 Posted September 4, 2006 Steve Irwin: "Wow, look at this beautiful creature. The StingRay, while deadly, is actually fairly harmless if  left alone in his habitat. Most of the stings from this creature is a result of human carelessness. My  goodness look at how beautiful this speciman is. Let's take a closer look. Hello luv, my aren't you  gorgeous? Watch as I am able to swim close enough to rub the bloke on his back. What a smoo..  AHHHGGGG YOU MOTHER#@$%%, AHHHHH HELP ME DAMMIT, drop the focking camera and help me,  AHHHHGGH, gurgle, gurgle."

Rybo5 0 Posted September 4, 2006 no doubt he was purposely provoking the sting ray, knowing that a sting ray sting isn't fatal. Â oops. Â According to CNN the stingray was buried in the sand, so I assume it probably caught him by surprise. Â Â Â I've always been a fan of his, so this definitely makes me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peenie 1,944 Posted September 4, 2006 i loved his accent and he was so energetic and fun. it was shocking but not unexpected.
