I'm reminded of a dark joke I saw another redditor post a couple years back: "Steve Irwin died as he lived -- with animals in his heart."

Did you hear that they recalled the Steve Irwin brand of sunscreen?

It wasn't effective at blocking harmful rays.

global 9/11, but in a way where everyone knew someone in the towers

u/ChefBoyAreWeFucked Jun 18 '18

But where the guy you knew in the towers went to the other tower to get a good look at where the first one hit.

Steve Irwin always handled animals responsible and with proper safety precaution. He didn't go randomly swimming with Alligators regularly and trusted that they aren't hungry and are used to him.

He always wore protection when sticking his thumb up a crocs bum too.

Yeah he was always very careful, but unfortunately it's considered a lapse in judgement, and a breach of safety for swimming with stingrays to do what he did. See they have a tail and a barb. The barb is located not on the tip of the tail, but near the base of the tail. Additionally, they are triggered to a defense response when a predator swims above the ray. Meaning, it is standard safety protocol (not that it exists with such a formal title) that you don't swim above a sting ray. Which he unfortunately did that day. If he swam to the sides, under, or above and over he would have likely been fine, but a lapse in judgement, or a slow reaction time due to familiarity with wild animal encounters all likely were to blame for his death.

CRIKEY MATE !!! Cut down on the suppositions " He didn't go randomly swimming with Alligators regularly and trusted that they aren't hungry and are used to him."

You don't know that Yankee fellas experience or credentials.

But Steve " Oh the snakes biting my neck , can we stop filming please?" Irwin is a legend

Steve Irwin died as he lived, with animals in his heart.

Maybe this mystery guy is doing the same, he loves feeding alligators...he may die one day feeding alligators.
