I would expect that there was some kind of forward movement on his part that frightened the snake and triggered a defensive strike. I regularly sit or stand at *very* close quarters with wild venomous snakes, and they are really not likely to move forward outside of their strike range to bite.

Also yes its bad the snake died and i honeslty cant say giving the same situation that if a loved one or good friend was bitten that with a snake that size and capablities i would or someone else wouldnt do the same thing.

It's never the snake's fault, and it's just not meaningful to "get revenge" on a wild animal for simply defending itself. If a snake caused me to lose a limb or my life, my loved ones know very well that I would want the snake to be protected from any consequences of my own lack of skill or foresight.
Yes, I do have very strong feelings about this subject, and believe it or not I'm actually trying to be restrained and civil.
