Stingray jumps from water, kills woman

March 20, 2008
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARATHON, Fla.–Officials say a Michigan woman died after a stingray jumped out of the water and struck her in the upper body in the Florida Keys.
Wildlife officials say the spotted eagle ray hit the 55-year-old woman in the face or neck while she was in a boat with her family yesterday.
Her name and hometown aren't yet being released.
Officials say it's not clear whether the animal's barb struck her, or if the impact killed her.
It's also not clear how big it was.
Spotted eagle rays can grow up to five metres in length, weigh up to 225 kilograms and have a wingspan of up to three metres.
They are known to occasionally jump out of the water but are not aggressive and usually use the venomous tip at the end of their tail as a defence mechanism.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

I held a stingray last week in the Dominican. Though it did have its stinger removed lol. They showed us the stinger which was practically identical to the one that killed Steve Irwin, things sharp as shit.

Sad stuff.
