Factory workers are constantly working with large machines and fast moving forklifts. Better not have kids there either. And just driving to work puts you in more statistical danger than being an animal trainer/wrangler, so if you go outside at all you're taking on too much risk to have kids. Pretty soon the only people who can have kids without being selfish will be agoraphobic insurance underwriters and computer programmers who telecommute from home.

He took bigger risks than the average 'animal trainer', people have been making jokes for years about him being killed fliming one of his shows, and it just happened to happen.
He may have been an expert on croc's and knew how to handle them well, but from watching his show for many years it was obvious he wasn't really at home as a diver, and I'm not surprised he died diving.
He seemed like a hell of a guy, and I feel as bad as anyone who didn't know him personally would about this.
