    Some of the facts are a bit exaggerated. A tiny spotted eagle ray like that would be unlikely to have a spine of that size. Those rays get pretty big. That was a small one, and wouldn't have all that much of a spine. Enough to do some serious damage, but not a foot long.

    If you read the entire article the truth is revealed!

    Bertakis was apparently trying to remove the three-foot-wide spotted eagle ray from the boat when he was stung, police Cmdr. Mike Oh said.

    Yeah, I noticed that, too. I guess you are never too old to be dumb. Stingrays are not exactly aggressive animals. The spine in the tail is not a particularly effective weapon, because it is so easy to avoid.
