It finally happened, we agree on something.
I always found Irwins stunts to be extremly dangerous. The bit that did it for me was that crazy stunt of letting his infant son be so close to a Saltwater crocodile. The saltwater is probably the most dangerous predator on Earth. In Austalia there are usually 6 people killed annually by saltwaters, they are no joke for an adult, and no place to have a baby.
My cousin who produces French nature programs for TV knew Irwin personally as he had shot lots of films in Australia (including a documentary on the saltwater croc) said that incident was one of the most irresponisible stunts he had ever seen, and this is coming from someone that had a few close calls as well.
While its regretable what happened to Irwin it was also predictable, these are after all wild animals, not cuddly housecats.
