"It must not be. I don't see the logic in bashing a guy who was doing something thousands of divers and snorkelers do every year without incident. I don't see why anyone would chime in with a hateful Marxist shrew and then consider themselves "logical."'

Well my logic is based on his family his little girl is now without a daddy. He did stunts with animals that were dangerous including one in which he used his daughter. He pushed the edge and finally lost. I wonder if his daughter can be convinced his death was "logical."

BTW if you have read the full account you will notice that the incident occurred because Steve and the cameraman got the Ray between them and it was surmised by the crew the ray felt trapped and defended itself (fight or flight instinct in action) I wonder if all of these "thousands of divers and snorkelers" that do this "every year without incident" use the same technique that Steve and his crew did?

I am gonna go out on a limb here and say no.
