Prof. Monkey Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Poor fella. Always thought he would "buy it" with some venomous snake. Mind you, stingrays have a very potent toxin in thier barbs, used as a defence mechanism. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I might have taken the p1$$ about his over the top excited manner, but he was great TV and did some wonderful things to help animal conservation. Feel for his wife and kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 He was a great animal lover and conservationist... He loved what he did, and I only wish I had some of the passion for what I do that he did.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 really sad to hear this Loved the way he would say: "This little beauty is one of the most venomous snakes in the WORLDDDD" for every snake he came across. RIP Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Tragic, yes. Accident, no. Stingrays do not just come along and sting people. They have to be provoked and it is not just a case of gently touching them. The saying goes: If you play with fire you will get burnt at some point.

Pete Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 It is sad - only 44, two kids - Bob and Bindy (!). It's not a complete surprise though given how up close and personal he got with some of wildlifes most dangerous creatures though. He'd been bitten and attacked a few times before but recovered. Play with fire, you're going to get burned. [edit] - HA ha - Joe, seems you agree with me about the fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Its weird, I was glancing at his croc show on ITV yesterday and thinking about when he would be finally taken down by a big croc...and of all things it was a Stingray! Poor guy, he created and left a legacy thats for sure and died doing what he enjoyed doing at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 If only these guys could just stop at looking and not have to get "so close." Not so entertaining though.....and Steve WAS entertaining 10/10.... The South African guy on TV the other night is the same. He had to touch a King Cobra on the top of it's head, just, "because he always wanted to...".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
