I am devestated, But my sadness is no where near what his family would feel.. I honestly hope that his legacy will continue, and i think that lies with Bob or Bindi, Terri certainly.
We, In Australia, keep being reminded, it was a freak accident, the odds of it happening are very low, But what was the odds of it happening to a well known celbrity,conservationist, honest guy, father, son & husband,
I can assure you now that it is seriously heating up here, i will not feel safe swimming in the water... =(
God bless you soul steve xxx

Well, I think it was sad, just as any young person's death is. I don't think his death has created any new great scientific breakthrough. We always knew they were dangerous. It's an ironic death to be sure, but just a freak accident. If it hadn't happened to Steve Irwin, it would be an urban myth.

This is a truely sad event. I loved watching his show. It is sad to hear just how he died. Of all the animals you thought would have killed him it turns out to be of all things, a stingray... I go diving with stingrays all the time. I have a tattoo of one on my ankle. one of my fondest memories is holding one in the Cayman islands. How sad that he leaves behind two young kids. I was sure it was going to be a shark or croc that got him.. I still cant believe it.
"Wow! she is really pissed now, look when I grab her tail she is arching like that. That is a true sign of aggitation and aggresion.Hold on Im going to do it again..."
What a nut. The world will truely miss him. Such a freak accident.
Scientists wont change thier minds. To die from a stingray is extremly rare....

Scientists are saying the same thing they've been saying about stingrays. His death, though unfortunate, doesn't change anything about stingrays.... if Steve had died from a car accident, they wouldn't have advocated the destruction of cars, nor would they have said that cars are any more dangerous than they already are... a stingray accidently killing a man, even a famous one, doesn't change anything about stingrays...

I eat sting rays every week. 0 fat and much proteins. just dont swim too near them.
Guess he was unlucky this time. This is a fact of life. You cannot be a stuntman and expect not to die on the job. Same for undercover cops.

I don't think scientists have changed their minds about sting rays, it was just an awful tragedy.

At least he died doing what he loved doing. Sting rays are actually not very dangerous.The barb-tail is only a defence mechanism.

His death was unfortunate, his handling of wild animals, while risky was entertaining. And it did increase interest in wildlife and conservation where many others in the field were unable to do so with their mundane documentaries.

He annoyed animals, for a living, any animal will fight back if threatened or frightened. He knew the risks...

stingrays are part of shark family, have no bones, are cartilaginous, called flat or winged sharks.
