Aw, crap. I loved that guy.

 

[Peter Squire]

Wow.

 

[Mike Money]

That sucks... was bound to happen, though.


RIP steve.

 

[BartmanPDX]

I feel bad for his kids. On the show I saw, he looked like a fantastic dad (who was a little nuts to be doing what he did).

 

[James Hart]

wow, I always thought a croc would nail him...

it's breaking news on cnn.com now.

 

[xcental34x]

Wow. I'm dismayed. This just put me in a real somber mood. RIP, Steve. You brought joy and laughter to us all in your adventures.

RIP

Apperently there's only been one other account of a stingray barb killing a human.

 

[SoComSurfing]

Wow. Must have been some stingray. I've taken a barb to the calf before, and that hurt like hell, but I couldn't imagine one any larger hitting you in the chest.
At least he went doing what he loved. We should all be as lucky as that.

Apparently his wife is somewhere in Cradle Mountain and can not be contacted, so she has no idea yet. They say the wife's always the last to know but this is just terrible.

It happened while filming a documentary so someone, somewhere out there has his death on tape. How long before some sicko emails it around the world? I for one won't watch it!

 

[Trevorus]

That sucks. I'm gonna miss the guy!

 

[James Hart]

That sucks. I'm gonna miss the guy!

I don't watch TV but I catch some at the in-laws from time to time... usually weekend afternoons. It's always welcome when we chanced on his shows. I just saw him swapping Zoo crocs in boxes the other week /month.

Like said, I'm glad he went doing what he loved... I hope the same fate of myself.

 

[Poop-Loops]

Wow.

I know. That's all I can think of.

It's not someone that would come to my mind when asked "who do you think will die next?"

I guess if you play with fire...

...but this was a freak accident, so that makes it even weirder.

I hear getting stung like that is painful and terrifying. =/

Steve knew the risks... and laughed in it's face. Death sucks no matter how it comes, no sense in fearing it

 

[Poop-Loops]

It's not death I fear. It's being paralyzed and in infinite pain right before it happens.

 

[KeithBMI]

What a shock.

 

[Trevorus]

It's not death I fear. It's being paralyzed and in infinite pain right before it happens.

Same here, man. It freaks me out to think about it.

 

[Myxomatosis]

bummer

 

[SOA_bassist]

that sucks a lot. whats worse is that his 3 year old son wont ever get the chance to know him.
