Are stingrays really so dangerous ?

i dont believe so
havent heard a story yet of anyone being killed by it

A DOCTOR and witnesses have told of the desperate efforts to save Australian icon Steve Irwin after the Crocodile Hunter was struck in the chest by a stingray barb today...

read full story at http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20349888-2,00.html

hmm not at all but i found this - "Stingrays only sting in defence, they're not aggressive animals so the animal must have felt threatened. It didn't sting out of aggression, it stung out of fear,"

apparently yes. can you please stop with the Steve Irwin threads? Read the fucking article and go to some other forum and discuss it. Maybe animal planets website has one.

just extremely unlucky :(

yeah if they hit you in the chest/abdomen
