Dangit man. Why do you have to start such a debate when I’m away from my computer for a weekend?

I went to StingRay island in the Cayman Islands last fall during a cruise. It’s amazing how tame and well adept they are to humans at SR Island.
Obviously Steve was swimming with more “wild” rays than I was, but it’s a scary thought. I guess they have video of him being stabbed by the barb, and himself pulling it out :(

Yeah, that’s hardcore. Pulling out the barb yourself and then dying….
