23skidoo ● 1st Sep 2015		@Neil. Oh yeah, I remember when the reports of Irwin's death started to roll in. Sad to say the general consensus seemed to be more like surprise that something like that hadn't happened sooner.



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		@23skiddoo! I'm with you on this one! Taking risks is one thing but taking stupid risks is something else altogether, and that's Irwin... Stupid risks! He even had his own then-infant son in a crocodile enclosure on one instance. One snap from any of those crocs at an inopportune moment and that kiddy's life would've ended then and there. That's the very reason why our home video cameras(and professional cameras) have the telephoto feature, to get a close-up shot without putting yourself in harm's way!



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		@RC, EXACTLY! If Irwin had shot that ray from a distance and used his telephoto, the stingray's tail(from where the venom is excreted) wouldn't have hit him and he'd be alive today.



23skidoo ● 1st Sep 2015		@Neil. That guy always lived on the edge. I do agree though that he took too many risks, and I'm actually surprised that his death wasn't used as a warning about these shows trying to one-up each other. It's sort of like sex on TV - there's this sense of shows trying to outdo each other, but at some point you can go too far. That's the way I saw it when Irwin died. Nothing wrong with taking risks, and I don't think anyone will deny that Irwin was a professional, but he pushed things a bit too far and it came back to bite him, fatally. At least they had the good sense at the time not to broadcast any of it. I'm not in favor of erasing history, but if it turns out the recording of his death has been destroyed I won't be losing sleep over it. I don't need to see that show up on YouTube the way Tommy Cooper's on-stage live-TV death (Wikipedia the name if you don't know who I'm talking about) was briefly uploaded by some yahoo a couple years ago.



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		Yes he got too close to the sting ray



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		Steve Irwin was an out-and-out idiot! It's his own stupidity that got him killed by getting in TOO close instead of using the telephoto facility on his camera to capture the up-close shots! If he'd done that, he'd have still been around to watch his children grow up.



harley 30th Aug 2015		Steve Irwin was one of the good guys Crocodiles lost a friend when he died.
