I saw that on the news last night. My impression of him was that he always lived on the edge. Personally, I wouldn't have taken those risks with my life, especially having a family. He owed his family his life. They need him!
The news comentator said in his report that I saw that it was just a matter of time and I agree with him completely. My prayer is that he didn't suffer as badly as if he'd been mauled by a croc.
The stunt he pulled with his baby in his arms made me lose a lot of the respect I had for him. It's one thing to play with your own life, but it's quite another to play with the life of your child!
I can't even imagine having been even a close friend of his. I would be so traumatised and angry at him!!
The Earth and Nature has lost a good man!!
Rest In Peace, Steve Irwin.
