  1. Extremely disgusting. I am offended. At least they did die doing what they loved, but this is still disrespectful. Watchmojo, delete your channel and do not return 🙁

  2. Steve Irwin was a fool and asshole for risking life and limbs for croc hunter on animal planet sorry we lost himself forevermore forever unconditionally in 2006 rip loser but not to worry himself son Bob Robert Irwin is his doppelgänger forevermore forever and bindi Irwin are always carrying his legendary legacy rip loser hahahahaha hahahahaha whatever happens you never nevertheless know what you are going to get thanks a lot we’ll miss you unconditionally forever forevermore and blessings to you all always thanks.

  3. Of the 10 deaths/causes of death, I think only #9 Karl Wallenda falling from the high wire, and #3 Tommy Cooper having the heart attack, were actually shown…although I suppose the vid publisher could conceivably get sued for showing some of the others (and/or, maybe they never aired at all). Overall, I think the concept behind this vid is pretty flawed–the title is at least somewhat inconsistent with what actually happened, in most cases. #10 Jon-Erik Hexum didn't die "while performing", he was just playing around with the "blanks" gun in between takes. Similarly, #7 Les Harvey died BEFORE performing, if he was just doing a sound-check. #2 Steve Irwin and #5 Brandon Lee were actually filming something at the time, but it was not in front of an "audience" (which to me, is part of what the word "performing" in the title implies). Same with #6 Vic Morrow (and the two kids); I think I actually saw footage in another video of what happened to them, the crashing helicopter–they showed the helicopter going down, but not the 3 people it fell on (thankfully). Never heard of #1 "Dimebag Darrell" (or the bands Damageplan and Pantera), or #4 Owen Hart (the wrestler), but at least their deaths were consistent with the vid concept (as I see it)–performing in front of an audience. I guess if #8 J.I. Rodale was still on the set of Dick Cavett after being interviewed (and suffered the heart attack on the set), that sort-of counts although he wasn't "performing" at that point.

  4. U basteds! How dare u put Irwin on this list we rather forget the tragedy and hope his children are alright and can move on not bringing us this again! Fuck you!!! ??

  5. i remember seeing crocodile hunter the movie without even knowing Steve Irwin i noticed what a good man until i read one of the who was books i read about his death and i felt sorry and seeing him in the number 2 spots he will forever be loved ????(┬┬﹏┬┬)
