A lot of those Aussies wanted to put him in jail when he had his child in his arm near that croc.
Yeah, that was so reckless and stupid. Reminds me of Michael Jackson dangling his child outside a 4th floor balcony window.

What these guys would do for publicity . . 😞

In fairness, in Irwin's case I do not think that was a publicity stunt. His own father did the same thing with him when he was an infant. So it was kind of a tradition for him. He knew what he was doing. Fair play.

I don't think the guy could bluff if his life depended on it..
I thought he was an open book .. exactly what he appeared to be.
Lot's of energy and very entertaining, to bad he wasn't quite the supernan he thought himself to be.

Yes, what you saw was what you got with Irwin. Pretty much the Australian way.
He never saw himself as superman, but he was raised with snakes, crocs and other not so cuddly animals from birth.
We have cats, dogs and birds as pets, he had crocodiles!
A great Australian has died and the whole world is poorer for it.

Fair play? I don't think so.
I wonder how the baby's mother could let him do that, putting their child's life at risk. He was a fool, thinking he knew what he was doing.

Heck, it wouldn't need to be that dangerous for Bush to hurt himself !

He had to be up there with the top 5 guys to spend a night out on the beers with.

He was a top bloke who brought the idea of conservation being fun to whole new audiance.

On the other issue...Name one parent who has never done anything stupid with their own child
