If Irwin was killed putting his head inside the mouth of a crocodile or something like that, I would say that was a stupid way to die. The guy got a little too close to a stingray while swimming above it and was stung. Happens all the time. His amazing misfortune was that the barb happened to penetrate his heart and killed him.
How many people said that Dale Earnhardt dying on the track was "Natural Selection at Work"?? What about Payne Stewart or JFK Jr. dying in an airplane?

Sorry, Rick, but if there was ever a case of natural selection at work, it was JFK, Jr. He had very little time in that plane and was not really qualified to be flying when he was. He got a case of the "leans" and flew his plane into the ground. "Pilot error" which usually tranlsates into something between "gross negiligence" and "chronic stupidity" like the recent crash in Kentucky. With Payne Stewart, it was equipment failure. For Dale Earhardt, it was job associated risk.
