Steve Irwin in trouble

Anyone see the footage of Steve Irwin feeding a croc a chicken while holding his new 1 month old baby?

Here's a news article about it:

If you've never seen Steve Irwin around much, it looks pretty dangerous. But when you've seen Steve Irwin's programs (my 4 yr old loves him) then you get to realise that he's a highly professional person, who has devoted most of his life to specialising working with dangerous reptiles. His understanding of the safety boundaries when working with crocodiles is second to none, IMO.

I saw it on BBC tv news. But in his own performance or show or whatever before an audience, I think he and the people working with him and those over him should have put very big warnings to the following effect (if they didn;t):
