First and foremost.... RIP... I feel sadness for his family that he left behind...
Now... for my opinion...
"If you mess with the bull you will get the horns"
A fitting statement considering the consequences of the situation. No one wants to see anyone die from doing something, whether they loved it or not, but to temp fate so many times it was bound to happen sooner or later.
I for one found his shows entertaining but definately not educational. I went to school in my younger days for conservation, and I dont remember anywheres there them saying that you should wrestle alligators, or handle dangerous and potentially deadly snakes. In these days where children emulate things they watch on TV I highly doubt any parent would like to see their boy or girl watch this show and then try and go handle a rattlesnake because Steve Irwin told them that they shouldnt be afraid of wild animals. That is NOT education.
I will say at least he died doing what he loved... and if that means anything its something...
