RangerTurbo Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 out of all the spiders, snakes, crocs, scorpions, sharks he's handled, who would have thought it to be a stingray to do him in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Only the good die young, he was more then a crazy sumbich. Irwin, 44 was killed by a stingray barb that went through his chest Though it wasn't any animal that any of us would have guessed would do him in, he certainly went out in the expected manner. You'd have to be hugging the thing to get barbed in the chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Just saw the news on AOL. He was one crazy sob, though, I thoroughly enjoyed his shows. Furthermore, even with his big fuck up holding his child in front of the crocodile he was a good guy, you could tell he was very proud to be a father.

HotCarl Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I heard it was a freak accident too. That the barb hit him right in or around the heart, anywhere else he would've lived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 They were saying on the radio today that his first mistake was pulling the barb out. They said he still could have lived if he left it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said he still could have lived if he left it in. If it were just a barb, yess. But, it also injected venom directly into his hear, or his precardial sack. It would have brought about fribrillation immediately. If he was free diving, he probably drowned. Also, the barb doesn't leave the fish. He would have had to keep the fish with him the whole way up.

The way i understand it is the barb (which is actually quiet long, 6-8 inches) acts just like an iguana's tail. When used as a defense it leaves the body, the sting ray can grow a new one like a toe nail. That's why i could touch them when i was a kid at busch gardens, they permanantly took the barbs out for safety. Of course, im not an expert on the subject so i guess i could be wrong.
