See, this is why when I had children I gave up stuff like Ski Racing, Sky Diving, Shark Diving, and my other adrenaline junkie activities. Now I just want to survive long enough to see them through college, and married. It's different for him in that I didn't get paid 4 million per year to cheat death.
If it's your time to go how would you choose to go? He didn't do what he did just because he enjoyed it, he also did it to help animals and to educate people. He would have continued to do so even without all the money being thrown his way. I'm sure his last thoughts were something like that, but the fact remains that he died while doing something he enjoyed, not just for himself but for others. Even if it was because of his lifestyle it was still a freak accident. He could have been out there for recreational purposes and not for filming, and it still would have happened. Wrong place, wrong time, that's all it takes no matter who you are or what you are doing. If your lucky you will die while doing something you love to do, either that or in your sleep:P
