I haven't seen it, but I doubt it "jumped" into the boat just to sting someone. I expect it fell in or was pulled in and someone fell on jammed into the barb.

o.k. i have found it here is the story http://www.abc4.com/local_news/local...6-9475423347AD

Yeah, it did. Jumped into the boat and stabbed an 80+ year old man near the heart.

I think this topic needs to be clarified a bit......

The ray did jump into the boat. But the man was stung while trying to remove the ray from the boat. The ray didn't attack the man or anything like that. (That would be an odd image though. Stingray assassins.)

Semantics.

Zoe · 10-19-2006, 03:48 PM

Did the stingray actually jump into the boat on purpose? That's what I wouldn't believe...

Puffer Pita · 10-19-2006, 03:49 PM

Allegedly.

Hey, work habits die hard.

Zoe · 10-19-2006, 04:41 PM

why would a stingray jump into a boat on purpose?

Puffer Pita · 10-19-2006, 06:01 PM

To get to the other side?

Zoe · 10-19-2006, 06:28 PM

Haha, but he could just swim under the boat

Puffer Pita · 10-19-2006, 06:32 PM

too lazy??

**Scuba Kid** · 10-19-2006, 06:48 PM

The boat probably scared him or something, so he jumped and happened to land in the boat. I doubt it jumped in because he wanted to hang out with the boat crew. lol
