Don, if it had been a crock, lion, hippo, snake etc that he had been near I would not have been surprised.

A Stingray was a surprise, people get near them without problems all the time.

It was a true freak accident, short of hiding in a fallout shelter none of us can say we are safe from freak occupancies.

RIP Mr Irwin.
