This is not the same animal that killed the "Crikey" guy or that pokes
snowbirds in the leg.
I knew a guy who died that way in the 80s. He was near Ft Myers, the
ray hit him in the leg, it became badly infected and he died several
days later.
Swimming in water filled with creatures that can kill or cause serious
injury to you is not my cup of tea.
I think it's important to remember that unfortunate events like this are
very, very rare.
You are in far more danger driving down to the local grocery store.

The hell you say. I was almost run over by a 1965 Stingray in the
parking lot at the supermarket.
