heh, funny, linda, I posted on another board that he wasn't just asking for injury/death bc of his line of work. Heck, he was in no more danger than a bomb squad member or a police officer. He at least knew the rules, ie, the animal is always out to get you, don't drop your guard, etc. A police officer has no clue what is waiting in the car he just pulled over. heck, CNN money put out an article on the most deaths per 100,000 jobs and it's quite fascinating..

btw, #5 includse pizza delivery people and vending machine operators.
So honestly, i dno't think he was just 'asking for it,' merely just that he was so publicized for what he did. heck, his death by a stingray is about as random as getting struck by lightning.
