I know he was making really good money but I wonder if he had insurance. He was such a high risk I'm sure a lot of compaines wouldn't want to deal with him.
I personally didn't care for his show's or anything but he really did enjoy what he did and that showed through. It's just to bad he was killed by one of the animals he loved so much.
It's horrible but I wonder how long until the video of him being stung and dying will be on the internet.
see thats how i feel towards him

I liked him... really i did. I didnt quite like what he did with his son that one time but let by gones be by gones, you know? But i'll be honest, when i first heard the news the only thing i could think was "it was only a matter of time". His poor kids.

honestly, I thought so too. He played a dangerous game, Im really surprised he lasted this long, as bad as it is to say. He did mess with a lot of dangerous ****. Once again though, sad to see him go

Taken from another forum:

Crikey! Steve Irwin should have worn the 30+ SPF sunscreen - it blocks
out all the harmful rays...

my science teacher said the total amount of people ever killed by a stingray is under 20 total. somewhere between 3 and 17 depending on who you talk to

A tribute video someone did....pretty nicely done...Im the same I enjoyed his show and he truly loved what he did and it was all great for these animals...he will be missed by many many people.

It sucks because i would never watch animal plane, but soon after watching him once i would flip to it every chance i got to see if he was on. I mena that Corwin guy is good but Irwin made it fun, with his way of talking and how he would explain everything. He will be missed.

Personally, I never liked him all that much. His show was alright. I always thought he took extra, unnecessary risks too many times. I'm surprised by how he died, though. Always figured he get nailed by a snake. I feel sorry for his family, though.

i for one really liked watching steve irwins shows because not only were they fun to watch, but you learned things too and it educates people on animals so that they have abetter outlook on them. i hope that his kids grow up to be just like them so they can carry the same message to the world, and i hope his wife can pull through too. another nice thing was that he awsnt always acting like some big shot but more of a regular person so that really made watching his show(s) more comfortable and fun than others. he and his family have my prayers, he was a very good person, im sure the lord has a place for him.
