Just like a "golden bb". Right between the eyes. That is like winning back to back lottos. He was known to be wreckless/careless and of all the real dangerous stuff he got away with he got nailed by a total fluke. You are taking one in ten million. We used to fish for them in the bay and Pearl, where there were tons of them and Hammerheads. Out of the water they just flop around but you keep away from that barb. Just like a catfish. But in the water they are powerful with those wings. The small ones are even at petting zoos, like Monterrey Aquarium. They are real docile and learn to be human friendly. Sounds like a few problems were proximity, too close, combined with shallow water, no way to get out of way or for ray to swim deeper, and cameraman out front, giving the ray a boxed in feeling. They will always swim away first, even sprint if threatened, using the barb is a pinned defensive move in case of no escape attacks. So the ray was just doing what it's species have forever.
As far as him in the croc cage with his infant, he went directly under Michael Jackson dangling his kid off a balcony column. Needless risking your own children's welfare. In both cases I felt a court would find them guilty of child endangerment. I don't care if there were twenty croc handlers standing by with rifles. What is the point? Did the infant ask to be in photo op? Did he sign a consent form? No, he was stuck with a reckless dad who endangered him needlessly. I could careless if he would play ride the crocs when he was alone. His life, his choice. Infants are dependant on their parents to make those decisions for them. Very wreckless decision.
That being said he will be missed by millions. Especially his widow and kids. My prayers go out to them. He brought happiness and enthusiasm to the world and advanced conservation efforts and public awareness. Part of his appeal was his recklessness, staged or not. Obviously this was not staged. Will they ever show the film?
