Let me spell it out for you. Irwin had a vast knowledge of those animals he dealt with most, and was fully aware of the risks and how to minimize them. Almost everything in his shows was spectacular to look at (and indeed produced to look that way), but relatively safe since Irwin knew exactly what he was dealing with.

In the accident leading to his death, Irwin was dealing with a situation with which he was less familiar, but which generally speaking is quite safe. The accident was a fluke (described by an expert on stingrays as a "one in a million chance"), and by no means indicates recklessness on his part.

Saying he "deserved it" is like saying a race car driver who gets killed by a drunk driver while driving his Volvo on a normal freeway "deserved it".
