gioarmani Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 That is such a fluke it's not even funny. Attacks like this are so rare it's not even worth looking up the statistic; they do happen but until Steve Irwin gave up the ghost, no one in the news gave a [censored]. What that report didn't mention (this guy, not Irwin) is that he was probably in the boat fishing and either hooked one, or at least nicked one with a hook, which caused the ray to naturally flip out and use it's only defense. I was raised in a house on Turtle Beach in Sarasota for 13 years and used to swim through schools of them on a regualr basis. For all intents and purposes, they're completely harmless unless stepped on or attacked; they certaintly don't go randomly flying through the air into people's chests, contrary to the media's sensationalism.
