I've fished the waters along the Texas coast for nearly 50 years and have always been very aware of the dangers of the stingray - at least the danger of stepping on one and having it whip it's stinger into your lower leg. Many fishermen and swimmers alike suffer from this every year. Now a woman has been killed by a stingray, but not in the way you'd think. I've never heard of the type of accident which recently occurred in Florida. This type of thing is akin to having a piano fall on your head while walking down the street.
And it seems there was another incident, also in Florida when a man was stung in the chest by a jumping stingray while riding in a boat. I guess it goes to show how fast life can change just when you least expect it!
