Reply #10: He was a human being who liked to flirt with death and danger.

It is a shame that he died and left young children without a father. But he did live his life as he chose and died doing it and it was even captured on camera, which he also would have liked.
It sure did seem to the viewers that his behavior was reckless at times. I really expect him to lose an arm to a gator before actually being killed in an animal misadventure.
