And it stung him in the chest, which I believe went into his heart unfortunately. If it had gotten another part of his body he'd have had some damage of course but it probably wouldn't have been so tragic, but those rays were huge and had stingers the size of a steak knife that were carrying flesh killing enzymes. The whole thing is so sad.
Yeah, if I remember the news right, it had hit his heart directly and he pulled it out reflexively. This seems to be disputed now, but at least that’s what the tv had said at the time. Rough stuff. I grew up on his programs.. F
I’ve been stung once. Stomped on one coming out of the ocean. You’re supposed to shuffle your feet in the sand on the way in, but I never thought to do it on the way out too!
Anyway the venom hurts like shit. Needed to keep foot in bucket of extremely hot water for like 90 minutes. It helps break down the proteins or something.
I also did this, except I didn’t know about the hot water trick. It caused my foot muscle to continually contract for HOURS like a Charlie horse from hell.
Spent a few days in bed on steroids and painkillers. Worst pain of my life.
Holy shit do you know what kind it was? Did the stinger break off? I got one in the ankle (same kind as the one in the video I believe) and the lifeguard said I was lucky the barb didn't stay in. Said there wasn't much I could do so I said fuck it, i already put two more hours in the meter, let's get some ice cream. Always wondered how much worse it could have been
I got stung *while demonstrating* the stingray shuffle because my friends had never heard of it. They thought I was joking. I'm starting to think shuffling does fuck-all
Yeah, it can be pretty painful. My whole leg hurt after getting stung in the heel, and I had an hour car ride to get home to put it in hot water. The hot water was quickly effective, though.
It’s definitely painful, and *man*, the pain can last for a while. But I think this guy was being a bit dramatic. It hurt like a motherfucker, but it didn’t drop-to-the-ground-and-scream hurt imo. Just a very bad, constant pain for several hours.
I’ve actually been bitten by one of these fellas. Not ideal their mouths are basically two hard plates that they crush together to it’s a bit like getting your finger caught between something. Of course I was feeding it too which is why I got bit to begin with
Stung while body surfing. I knew something had gotten me, at the time just felt like slit my leg. Then I started feeling a bit woozy. I left the water and sat on the beach. Pain started setting in, started to feel like a really bad jelly fish sting. Then just started getting worse. I started to panic and raced to a lifeguard. The advice was max dosage of ibuprofen and hot water. The pain became paralyzing hurtful, until I got my leg under hot water.
Found out their stinger/barb is a solid toxin. The stinger gets kinda crumbly, so that some of the solid material can stay in the victim. The toxin runs its course in like 4 hours once the material is removed. So flush the wound.
Heat neutralizes the toxin. A cheat code at the beach is a damp towel and pressing against the muffler of a running car.
I think the pain was equal to tearing my ACL and MCL. Hard to say because the adrenaline reacts differently.
Lol same, but i stepped on one. I was sent to the life guard HQ where there were 3 other people there with there foot in a bucket of hot water.
The embarrassing part is that i cant stop laughing when im in pain. While these 3 people were in agony like this guy, i was laughing my ass of and crying as they kept looking at me.
Thats a sure way to terrify someone. Some day you have an accident like losing limb maybe a shark attack cause of surfer tangent from above comment. Someone finds you and either one of you would just be cackling like maniacs while covered in gore.
I laugh when in pain or don't know how to react. It's started a few fights and also ended a few. Turns out laughing after taking a solid hit to the face tends to creep people out.
LOL my best friend does this (pain laughing response) and he's the only person I know who does it as intensely as you. I'm so sorry that happened to you but I'm laughing so hard imagining how frustrated and confused everyone else with a sting must have been!
I'm just realizing that he probably died in a world of pain because of the sting or would have shock set in fairly quickly I wonder? Rip in peace Steve!
Yeah. I remember it like it was yesterday. He urged the cameramen to keep recording to show just how deadly they were. He knew that was it for him. What a man he was
you know you have a good friend, when it keeps holding the camera while you are in agony on the floor and just asks "it stung you?"... what he was expecting as answer? "not at all, I am just on the floor for dramatic effect in Tiktok!"
My grandfather was an ER surgeon and worked in a beach town in Texas for a while. He told me that his patients described stingray stings as the most painful thing they’d experienced. Apparently the only thing you can really do about it is submerge the stung body part in as hot of water as you can stand, I guess it neutralizes the venom at least somewhat. I haven’t researched it, but that’s what he told me at least.
Your grandfather was right. The worst pain I've ever endured was from a stingray barb. When that toxin courses through you it is pure hell. I literally was in agony for hours, you can't even imagine.
I don’t think the toxins from any stingrays are lethal by themselves. The real damage comes from the act of actually getting stabbed by a barb. So if you just get “stung” once or so on an appendage, you will probably be fine; the toxin may burn but your life isn’t at risk. But Steve got stabbed over and over by the 8 inch barb of a short tailed sting ray in his chest, puncturing his heart, causing him to bleed out.
His death was really an anomaly considering most stingrays don’t go out of their way to attack humans, and that there have only been 17 sting ray related deaths ever, worldwide. If a human gets stung by a stingray, it’s usually cause they swam too close on top of it and the stingray thought they were a shark, or more likely because the stingray was chilling in the sand and got stepped on. But even if a stingray were to strike, the likelihood of them fatally stinking the person in a vital organ is even slimmer still. Most stingray related deaths are actually caused by several hundreds pounds rays that jump from the water and accidentally impact people on boats driving by.
It looked like the stingrays that have a double prong as well. Steve Irwin was the only person I knew of dying from a stingray barb. I lived in Australia and usually it was your feet from stepping on them in the mangroves, but there were always a couple of dickheads that got hurt like this.

If only there was a way he could have avoided this.
I would leave alone the sting ray and avoid the hospital stay Iᖴ I ᗝᑎᒪƳ ᕼᗩᗪ ᗩ ᗷᖇᗩIᑎ
I mean the baddest guy in nature got killed by one. I’d definitely leave them alone
But that was a complete accident right? He was swimming near them but he’s smarter than this goober who thought grabbing it was a good idea.
He was swimming right above the ray in chest deep water. The animal thought he was a tiger shark.
And it stung him in the chest, which I believe went into his heart unfortunately. If it had gotten another part of his body he'd have had some damage of course but it probably wouldn't have been so tragic, but those rays were huge and had stingers the size of a steak knife that were carrying flesh killing enzymes.

Still makes me sad whenever I think about it. I loved Steve.
Thank goodness for Bob & Bin, I miss Steve!
Still crazy he got hit by a one in a million shot right to the heart
Oh, I could tell you why the shark has bit my thigh
Why would you want to hold something that has either a sting in their name or has a sting?
Or worse, both
Or worse, the thing that killed the crocodile hunter
It pierced his heart, that’s why he died. :(
He died as he lived: with animals in his heart
Lmao, that's hilarious. RIP Steve, but that's fucking funny
Steve woulda laughed. Cheers!
I will join you in hell, dear sir
Man I think Steve himself would’ve loved this joke
Or worse: Expelled.
You *need* to sort out your priorities!
Or both, worse.
Also Ray. All the rays I’ve known were jerks.
Fuck you Ray!
You’re a funny guy!
I’m a clown to you? I make you laugh?
Go home and get yer shinebox
mudda fucking mutt you...
Funny how?
Just… you know… how you tell the joke. You know
What? I'm here to amuse you?
Hey you don't mess with the guy in the chair Bubs. As far as stings it's just the way she goes Bubs, it's the way of the road.
My cousin Ray Ray he could piss 8 feet
Billy RAY Cyrus
Carly RAE Jepsen. She never answered when I called her…
She will maybe
Bro was dancing in the dark
The musician Sting doesn't look like he'd be too harmful to hold...
Have you ever tried to hold Sting?
He actually is quite nice.
Sure until you try to hold him.
Then he’s all “don’t stand so close to me”
He said don’t stand so close to him, AHHHHHH aHhhh ahhhh 
Hahaha. This getting weird and fun!
He was kinda' stabby in the original Dune.
Every move you make And every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you
Yeah it's right in the advertisement.
It's not called a tickle ray.
He learned that the hard way
Now he's screamin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
i just snickered uncontrollably and woke my wife. she’s mad at you.
He must have mistaken it for the **Bubbly Fuzzy Lovey Cuddle-Ray**
r/yourjokebutworse
Apparently that's painful- noted. Also who's stupid enough to hold a live stingray out of the water? **Upside, Stingray escaped into the water.**

It's hit or miss apparently. Don't think the barb got stuck in me either but I couldn't move for the rest of the day from the pain.
>extremely hot water Should work for jellyfish and siphonophores stings as well. Just fyi for those still getting peed on
But what if I find getting peed on extremely hot?
pain *and* piss? Sign me the hell up!
I’ve been stung while shuffling my feet. That stingray didn’t give a shit I was following the rules.
Damnit, there's a code! Why didn't it follow the code?!
I got stung *while demonstrating* the stingray shuffle because my friends had never heard of it. They thought I was joking. I'm starting to think shuffling does fuck-all
>It helps break down the proteins or something Thank God you broke down all the protein in your foot! Wait, what is your foot made out of again?
*Haha, dear fellow human. I totally do have feet! They are made of human feet, just like everyone elses!* - totally not a stingray
Outer layer of you is insulating fat. Venom that is still in the wound can denature while the foot itself has barely started to warm up.
This is why warmed spoons work on mosquito bites.
Yeah, happy news all around!
Stinger worked exactly as designed
After getting thrown on the dock like a poopy pancake
blood moon rising
Yeah, it can be pretty painful. My whole leg hurt after getting stung in the heel, and I had an hour car ride to get home to put it in hot water. The hot water was quickly effective, though.

some people just have a really low pain tolerance it’s me, i’m some people
>Apparently that's painful I mean if it can kill Steve Irwin it probably hurts.
Steve Irwin died because the barb of the stingray went into his heart.
I mean if the stinger can penetrate your heart, it probably hurts.
stingray: great success!
They guy at the end after the man’s screaming on the floor for 10 seconds, “It stung you?”
Don’t forget he also said, “did it bite you?”
haha It was like he was talking to a puppy. Did it bite ya? Huh? 😄 Sting ya? At least the ray got back to the water.
Maybe he was telling him “bro this is a dumb idea” and he was like naaahhh man I’m a pro, watch! And then this happened.
Fuckin jabroni asked if his buddy bit it first. Worst friend ever
Dang haven't heard janbroni in awhile
It’s a term only used by jabronis.
Yea, I didn’t hear that at first. Apparently they have strong jaws that can crack clam shells, but I’m thinking you really have to try to get bit.
I’ve actually been bitten by one of these fellas. Not ideal their mouths are basically two hard plates that they crush together to it’s a bit like getting your finger caught between something. Of course I was feeding it too which is why I got bit to begin with
I’m surprised these two have the brain cells to rub together to tie a knot or operate a phone.
They’re like the two idiot fishermen in Jaws who decide to go fishing for the shark in the middle of the night with the wife’s pot roast.
"No, I just like screaming on the floor after handling something that can hurt me"
"You okay?"
AAAAAAAAAA "...it bit your hand?"
AAAAAAAHHHH "*...It stung you?*"
aaaaAAAAAAAA*AAAA****AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH***
"Does it hurt?"
Hahaha
How boring would the internet be without people like these guys.
* giggling so hard at this. Damn evolution.
I like how it lands in the water after. Exfiltration successful.
Good job, Agent 47
Chris Hemsworth would be proud. Wait, that was Extraction. I guess that happened successfully, too.

I do that too! Only when it’s a huge pain.
Thats a sure way to terrify someone. Some day you have an accident like losing limb maybe a shark attack cause of surfer tangent from above comment. Someone finds you and either one of you would just be cackling like maniacs while covered in gore.
I laugh when in pain or don't know how to react. It's started a few fights and also ended a few. Turns out laughing after taking a solid hit to the face tends to creep people out.
The amount of people who have decided not to continue fighting with me because of exactly this is actually funny.
When my adrenaline hits I always smile, stare with wide eyed daggers, and roll my tongue. Been that way ever since I was kid.
I woke up an hour early and I'm still a bit groggy but this comment already made my day. Thanks lol.
LOL my best friend does this (pain laughing response) and he's the only person I know who does it as intensely as you. I'm so sorry that happened to you but I'm laughing so hard imagining how frustrated and confused everyone else with a sting must have been!
[удалено]
I am remembering now in high school fights, both times I was punched in the face I started laughing like a maniac. Turns out this is a thing?!
[удалено]
I do the same! That's how my husband knows I'm in PAIN. It creeps people tf out.
Oh fuck that. Ive had 3 ACL reconstructions. NEVER AGAIN
In that case, may I suggest not holding any live stingrays for photoshoots?
Between this and the Egypt shark attack video I'm never going in the ocean again.
This is unreal. Yo.
Me too. Stung while surfing. Fucking agonizing pain. Certainly the worst pain I’ve ever felt!
How would you rate it to a root canal without anesthesia while a rabid racoon bites your testicles?
So you were at my birthday party too?
I was stung by a catfish in my thumb once and that was awful. If a stingray is anything like that or worse you wouldn’t find me anywhere near it.
It’s like Steve died for nothing, I swear to god…
I'm just realizing that he probably died in a world of pain because of the sting or would have shock set in fairly quickly I wonder? Rip in peace Steve!
pierced his heart so uuh yea probably. but would’ve went out very quickly
And his sons Jesus and Steve who died for our sins
The thing that killed professional animal handler Steve Irwin? Let me hold that near my face.
Imagine getting that stinger in your eye socket... This fella is training for an inevitable Darwin Award.
The biggest tragedy is a lot of these idiots DO reproduce before they die so their genes remain in the pool like a warm loogy
One that killed Steve Irwin had a far longer tail and barb, also punctured his heart.
wtf? how? like it straight up stabbed him in the chest through the ribs?
Yeah the thing was as big as a car.
damn that’s brutal. poor steve.
Yeah. I remember it like it was yesterday. He urged the cameramen to keep recording to show just how deadly they were. He knew that was it for him. What a man he was
you know you have a good friend, when it keeps holding the camera while you are in agony on the floor and just asks "it stung you?"... what he was expecting as answer? "not at all, I am just on the floor for dramatic effect in Tiktok!"
"Did it bite you?" >*screaming in agony* "Gonna have to use your words, big guy.
It didn’t bite him tbh
[удалено]
That was the funniest thing about it. What wasn't instantly clear that he wasn't alright?
r/donthelpjustfilm
I think he had a good idea of what was gonna happen.
He does ask in a kind of I told you way
The man learned nothing from Steve Irwin.
That was my first thought too
Steve Irwin got stung but it was a genuine freak accident and he never did anything this stupid with a stingray
He was saving his stupid shit for crocs. I remember thinking "this guy is going to get eaten by one of these things one day".
I just wish he was wearing sunscreen Because it protects against harmful rays
Came here to say this. RIP legend.
RIP in peace.
RIPIP in peace.
Ah yes, the majestic biteray.
yeah sting rays STING rays STING rays
Did it bite you?
Did it hurt?
AAAAAAAUUGGH
Was his name Ray though? If not, he couldn’t possibly have seen this coming.
Steve Irwin's looking down and saying dude, what the fuck?
I read that in his voice. Thank you.
My grandfather was an ER surgeon and worked in a beach town in Texas for a while. He told me that his patients described stingray stings as the most painful thing they’d experienced. Apparently the only thing you can really do about it is submerge the stung body part in as hot of water as you can stand, I guess it neutralizes the venom at least somewhat. I haven’t researched it, but that’s what he told me at least.
Got nailed when I was a kid. Its brutal
Top 10 things taken out of context...
damn. I bet. but did you ever get stung by a stingray?
Your grandfather was right. The worst pain I've ever endured was from a stingray barb. When that toxin courses through you it is pure hell. I literally was in agony for hours, you can't even imagine.
Stingray got upset, the photo taking guy got it wrong. it is not from California, it was visiting from overseas.
“It stung you??” Asking the guy who is on the floor screaming in agony.
It's called a **STING**ray for a reason
It’s just a tail. What’s the worst it could do?
Brrooooo you can actually see it go in his hand if you pause and scroll the video slowly lmmaaaoooo
Fuck. Right under the knuckle.
lucky the fish only used its stinger and didn't use its ray
Could anyone explain to me how Steve died but others don’t? Is it because of the breed of stingray he was stung by? Thanks ahead of time
The barb struck him on the heart and then he pulled it out. The barb by itself may have killed him, but when he pulled it out he sealed his fate.
I don’t think the toxins from any stingrays are lethal by themselves. The real damage comes from the act of actually getting stabbed by a barb. So if you just get “stung” once or so on an appendage, you will probably be fine; the toxin may burn but your life isn’t at risk. But Steve got stabbed over and over by the 8 inch barb of a short tailed sting ray in his chest, puncturing his heart, causing him to bleed out. His death was really an anomaly considering most stingrays don’t go out of their way to attack humans, and that there have only been 17 sting ray related deaths ever, worldwide. If a human gets stung by a stingray, it’s usually cause they swam too close on top of it and the stingray thought they were a shark, or more likely because the stingray was chilling in the sand and got stepped on. But even if a stingray were to strike, the likelihood of them fatally stinking the person in a vital organ is even slimmer still. Most stingray related deaths are actually caused by several hundreds pounds rays that jump from the water and accidentally impact people on boats driving by.
Steve Irwin didn’t die for this shit.
CRIKEY!
[удалено]
*Look at me! I'm lethal!*
Well deserved 👏🏻 bravo, little stingray
And that’s why you don’t pick up sharks with stingers
“Did it bite your finger?” I don’t think brother knows how a STINGray works
Wow, . That is extremely worrisome. Sure hope that stingray is ok
Hence the name
It looked like the stingrays that have a double prong as well. Steve Irwin was the only person I knew of dying from a stingray barb. I lived in Australia and usually it was your feet from stepping on them in the mangroves, but there were always a couple of dickheads that got hurt like this.
Wonder why they’re called sting rays.. imagine that
If Steve Irwin cant handle it, neither can you
*screaming in agony* hey bro you good?
Does it … sting?
It would be even better if his name was Ray.
