    Crocodile hunter (Steve Irwin) RIP

    http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/s...34-952,00.html

    Was bound to happen eventually I guess. Despite being a little over the top, I think he'll be missed by Australia...the guy did a lot for wildlife conservation here.

          Wrestle all those crazy alligators and get taken out by a sting ray? That sucks.

          He was very entertaining to watch, RIP.

                Sting rays have a barb on the end of their tail, similar to a fishing hook, except these stick out a lot (and some are poisenous)

                  Would that be why they are called "Sting Rays"? CRIKEY!!!

                          Uh, something like this goes around about once a year. I wonder how many times he will die before he dies?

                            Um, after a little research, apparently, he really DID croak this time. Very sorry to know this. :(

                              knowing him, he was probably swimming ontop of one of the biggest sting rays and got too close, the animal freaked and stuck his 6inch barb thru steve's heart. i wonder what that would feel like...rip man

                              ....9/10 says the accident was filmed.

                              this is what a stingray's barb looks like

                              Never underestimate the penetrating ability of a stingray’s barb, even on the smallest of stingrays. The stingray’s barb is designed to penetrate virtually all sorts of dense materials, including wood and leather. And as unbelievable as it may seem, it’s been documented that large stingrays are able to drive a barb through a boat’s wooden planks or completely through a persons arm or leg.

                              According to Dr. Shipp, when a stingray strikes, it either removes its barb entirely, or breaks it off inside of the victim. When this occurs, doctors must probe the wound to make sure all particles have been removed, so the injury will not result in gangrene. In cases where the barb deeply penetrated, the wound must be enlarged to make sure it is properly cleaned.

                              Aside from the pain and serious laceration caused by the razor-sharp barb, which can sever arteries and possibly an Achilles tendon, a poison is released that can produce a drastic decrease in blood pressure, increased pulse, dizziness and possible shock.
