wil_d_thril 0 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." I was thinking almost the exact same thing. You know he was pestering the poor creature. I saw a quote from one of the crew members that said he "accidentally" boxed the stingray in. He was always cornering and irritating animals and it came back to bite him on the ass...or in this case, stab him in the heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swamp dog 0 Posted September 4, 2006 once the shock wears off, the practical side of me had a couple of questions: 1) what would life insurance for someone who did what he did cost? 2) did he have any? not that he needed it; i'm sure the fam is loaded.

I would think that he's uninsurable. He'd have to go to a specialty market like Lloyds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBOKOP 0 Posted September 5, 2006 To put things in perspective, I just saw a clip on TV filmed before this incident asking family members about his lifestyle.

joeshushu 51 Posted September 5, 2006 I heard he cost himself any chance he had of surviving by pulling the barb from his chest. Where is the YouTube video? That is what I was thinking. If he didn't pull it out, his heart wouldn't have bled out. Although I think there is only one case out of 7 that survived a stingray sting to the heart and that person's injury was to a cardiac artery and not directly into the heart. Also that stinger is barbed so ripping it out probably caused additional damage. That is one shot he didn't see coming. I guess it is much easier to react on land to an attack than in the water.

BiPolarBear 495 Posted September 4, 2014 I have caught quite a few sting rays while bait fishing in California. they were all very docile, except for one that repeatedly tried to stick me. The barb is just held on with a little skin. I took out my fillet knife and cut it off before releasing it. I put the barb on the end of my finger to get a good luck and the venom started burning me through my unbroken skin in about two seconds. I can't imagine getting a large one stuck in the heart! RIP, Steve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 1,006 Posted September 4, 2014 I remember one really funny ESPN ad... Steve Irwin was walking through the halls of ESPN offices when the elevator opens and the Florida Gators mascot is standing there. Irwin yells "Blimey, mates! Get a load of the size of that one!" and tackles him. In hind site, it's probably good that they didn't use the Tampa Ray's mascot instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
