This was really such a sad thing -- a one in a billion accident.

I must disagree. The stingray was undoubtedly aiming for his center of mass, and hit it.

Animals are not plush toys with heartbeats - they act when they feel threatened and are often extremely dangerous, as in this case.

It is a shame he misread the response of this partcular one.

It is sad, but not unexpected. The way guy dealt so dangerously close with poisonous animals he was bound to get biten, stung, or pierced at some point!

Really, I'm surprised a Gator didn't eat him before now.

Yes, it's sad that he died. I feel badly for his family

One shot in 1,000,000,000 ?

With 6,000,000,000 people on the planet, I think your odds are a bit off.

I'm surprised he wasn't already eaten, bitten, poisoned, mauled, torn apart by some animal
