He cornered a creature that ended up defending itself in one of the few ways possible. That is probably how a stingray would defend itself against a seal, a creature that eats rays. Had the sting ray struck him almost anywhere else, then Steve Irwin would have survived.
He had a reputation of taking reasonable risks with animals known for danger to humans. There are people who wrestle alligators, animals known to have killed and eaten people. If alligators are in the water, you want to find somewhere else to swim.

Now here's a submission I made for a Darwin Award. At least it was of this incident.
Quote:The Michigan State Police Department said Tuesday that a man died after rolling his car on the ramp from the Lodge to I-75 was watching pornography while driving.
The accident happened early Sunday morning just after 3:30. Michigan State Police troopers were called to the ramp from the Lodge to southbound I-75 on a one-car accident. The preliminary investigation revealed the driver of the car was watching a movie while behind the wheel, police said on Monday.
The driver was not wearing a seat belt when he lost control and rolled the car. He was partially ejected through the sunroof and died on scene.
On Tuesday, FOX 2 was speaking with Michigan State Police troopers about a different story when MSP revealed the man had been watching pornography and masturbating while driving. MSP also said the 58-year-old man was not wearing pants at the time of the crash.

Vehicle collisions and distracted driving don't usually qualify, but this is distracted driving to an unimaginable extreme. The schmuck was old enough to know better, and navigating a freeway-to-freeway interchange requires one's hands on the steering wheel. Besides, it's in Detroit at 3 am.

There is still an absence of evidence for those.

Kinser -- do you know what "ten years without the right of correspondence" means?
Dead people do not correspond.

If the numbers alluded to occurred there should be corpses littering Russia and the former USSR? Where are these corpses? Even if there were no paper trail (and there isn't) there should be physical evidence...which seems to be missing.

What is the most obvious difference in geography between the Soviet Union and Liechtenstein?
Hint: 160 km2 ( 219th)
22,402,200 km² (1st at the time)

Russia is still the largest country. Still there is no physical evidence. And yes the FSB knows where the penal colonies (gulags) are.

Question: what do tigers have to do with Buddhism? They are certainly neither vegetarian nor pacifist! --PB
Quote:KANCHANABURI, Thailand (Reuters) - Wildlife authorities in Thailand have raided a Buddhist temple where tigers are kept, taking away 40 of the animals by Tuesday and vowing to confiscate scores more in response to global pressure over wildlife trafficking.
The Buddhist temple in Kanchanaburi province west of Bangkok had more than 130 tigers and had become a tourist destination where visitors took selfies with tigers and bottle-fed cubs.
The temple promoted itself as a wildlife sanctuary, but in recent years it had been investigated for suspected links to wildlife trafficking and animal abuse.
Wildlife activists have accused the temple’s monks of illegally breeding tigers, while some visitors have said the animals can appear drugged. The temple denies the accusations.
