kayaker0678 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Sad time he died today from a sting ray barb to the head. Quote
skyline Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 This really bums me out All the dangerous stuff he does, and he dies in a way that you'd never expect. Stingray deaths are very very rare. The barb just happened to pierce his heart... Quote
AGrizzlyBaer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 man out of all the animals he has pissed off who would have thought a sting ray would have done him in Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 All the dangerous stuff he does, and he dies in a way that you'd never expect.Maybe, but still this is hardly unpredictable, eh? Play with fire and eventually you get burned. I keep waiting for that "snake hunter" guy to get it, too.Sucks, tho. Quote

I don't know...it's the guys like this that seem to always live until they're 100. Sure, they usually have a wooden leg or two, but you know Quote
Ox Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Wow. How sad. I enjoyed watching that crazy m'fer. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Per The Australian, they have the whole thing on tape; cops have the video now but there are some reports from those who've seen it...http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...112-601,00.htmlVarious tributes and other info there too...

NYBengalfan Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 That is a shame, but how else could you see him dying.......All i could say is that the man lived for the moment, that rush of adrendaline, I guess you can say that he lived on the edge. ......All I can say is that i couldnt see myself picking up the newspaper and seeing the cover saying irwin dies choaking on a Sandwich anyway cheers to you Steve you will be missed Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Yeah, there's only so many times you can go "WATCH THIS" and it not bite you in the ass. Crazy guy. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 Uh-oh...looks like the 'rays are p*ssed off about something...http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061019/ap_on_...ingray_stabbingFla. boater stabbed in chest by stingrayLIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. - An 81-year-old boater was in critical condition Thursday after a stingray flopped onto his boat and stabbed him, leaving a foot-long barb in his chest, authorities said....Ellen Pikitch, a professor of marine biology and fisheries at the University of Miami, who has been studying stingrays for decades, said they are generally docile."Something like this is really, really extraordinarily rare," she said. "Even when they are under duress, they don't usually attack." Quote
