Wow...how horribly unfortunate. I guess the odds will catch up to anyone if you take enough chances. I really feel for his kids, I believe he had some young ones.

RIP. I liked watching him.

That was my first thought. I guess he had been a risk taker for so long that he never thought about leaving a family behind.
Still a terrible accident.

It is a HORRENDOUS shame what happend to him. Not only becuase he made a lot of us laugh due to his silly antics on tv but for what he did for the australian wildlife. This is a man who has devoted his life to the preservation of a great number of animals, not to mention educating countless people on the struggles of wildlife in this age. It is truly a tragedy and the world won't be the same without him in it.

Just saw on Yahoo when I launched my browser. Hate that, he was really fun to watch on TV. The kids loved him.

What a way to go.

At least he died doing something he loved instead of in a bed somewhere at 70 something...I feel for his family, I read there that his wife is off camping somewhere and doesn't even know yet, has to be hard on the kids having both parents gone all the time.

Since they were videotaping, I bet we see the video pop up on the net somewhere soon.

You bring up a good point, going out doing something that you are that passionate about is probably a much better way for things to come about. But i do hope that the video doesn't start circulating around, ya know out of respect. Unfortunatly respect and the internet dont usually go hand in hand
