Well that's my point. If he were swimming with incredibly dangerous animals like crocodiles or alligators I could see why he died. It's just that swimming with Stingrays isn't dangerous, hundreds of people do it every year.

Flying is supposedly one of the safest modes of transport but there are always tragedies!!!for every safe journey.Death from a Stingray may be few and far between,but 1 death is enough to assess the risk as dangerous
People get killed by toilet seats. Does that make them dangerous?

By your theory nobody would fly or cross the road because each has proven to be dangerous.
Steve was an expert who knew the risks better than anyone one on this forum and as such it's not for us to critisise how he lived his life.

No, I'm pointing out how ridiculous it is. Do you actually consider toilet seats or crossing the road 'dangerous'?

But I know from before most all accident happen in the house,-you can stumble and get killed

Maybe somebody know what I am talking about ... those who survived

He was stung by a fish. Not eaten by a crocodile! I thinkt he knew the risks of crocodiles, but he didn't think about the fishes!

I've read in the newspaper today that Irwin knew about the risks, but the risks underwater have always been much higher. Although I do think this was a brave guy reporting about animals in this style, it was his own fault too, somehow.

The Angel of Death was approahing the court of King Solomon to take the life of one of Solomon's ministers.
Somehow this minister got wind of this and immediately set off for China ...
as this was the furthest remotest place away from Solomon's lands.
When the Angel of Death approached Solomon
Solomon asked "Why are you here?"
AofD replied
"To take the life of one of your minister's.
Strangely enough, I had been commaned to go to China not here !
But curiosity got the better of me ... I thought why China? Better check here first!"
