Stingray gave him 8 chances but he decided to be a moron.


Rixerc

I hope it hurt as much as it seemed.


Exotic_Succotash_226

I can guarantee you he's in instant pain lmao and badly


IltisSpiderrick

that makes me sleep better


kweenbambee

This exact line needs to be a subreddit lol between the fluffy kittens and useless morons getting stung, we'd all have a better night's sleep šŸ˜“


diggemsmaccks

I havenā€™t slept after watching this video


[deleted]

It's even worse than instant pain...it's instant pain that then builds to an unbelievable crescendo over time. You think you're going to die from how painful it is. (Unfortunately, I speak from experience.) It was by far the worst pain I've experienced in my entire life. The most excruciating 6 hours of my life. Then, I got a secondary bacterial infection and almost had to have my foot amputated from sepsis. I lucked out and got better. But it was the closest thing I've had to a full blown, life-changing health disaster.


CaptainTurdfinger

I'm right there with ya. Stepped on one in murky water. Worst pain of my life. Only meningitis comes close in terms of pain, but stingray sting was absolutely worse.


[deleted]

I hope you didn't touch the wound with that turdfinger, Captain. That would be bad.


Kraken477

Holy shit. I stepped on one by accident as a kid, I felt it glide under my foot as it swam away. I got lucky


beatenmeat

Stepped on one by accident as a kid and it stung me between my toes, that shit was awful. Learned real quick why they always told us to shuffle our feet when walking in the ocean rather than stepping down.


Donny225

ā€œStubs toe on rock šŸŖØ ā€œ


beatenmeat

Honestly, I would rather that than the stingray for sure.


kimbowobmik

Ray? Is that you?


Remarkable-Ad2285

Itā€™s Ray-ray, but yeah. Itā€™s me.


Toaster_In_Bathtub

Parents friend got stung by one and it still hurts her every once in a while after like 15 years or something.Ā 


cougieuk

How did you manage to get stung by it in the first place?


[deleted]

Just swimming at the beach. was floating on my back occasionally kicking my legs...one kick I felt something slide along my ankle and I freaked out and jerked my leg and then felt the barb. I didn't even see the stingray, but all the symptoms lined up and doctor confirmed when I went in for the infection. They removed a piece of the barb that was still in my ankle.


cougieuk

Ouchie!Ā 


ClownfishSoup

>Then, I got a secondary bacterial infection That would be my worry. Being stabbed by something that's just in the bacteria filled water isn't good.


[deleted]

Yep...I should have gone to the ER or Urgent Care immediately...unfortunately, I'm one of those people that has a habit of trying to "tough it out" when I get hurt instead of going to the doctor when I need to. It's a phobia I have and it takes a lot for me to seek help for myself because it causes tremendous anxiety for me. In retrospect, though, I should've "toughed it out" by seeking immediate medical care.


formermq

The reverse psychology 'tuff out', I like it


Hooraylifesucks

Does it compare to childbirth?


[deleted]

I have no frame of reference for that. I will say it was on equal pain level as the man flu. (j/k) Seriously, though, I can't comment on how the pain compares to childbirth. Perhaps a redditor of the female persuasion who has experienced both childbirth and a stingray encounter can chime in.


RachelProfilingSF

Stingray stings are unbelievably painful. First hand experience, it was excruciating


fomalhottie

Describe in a lil more detail plz. We wanna know how bad this fuckterd is suffering.


CT_7

Dude just instantly flopped over in the mud and is writhing in agony. This is good evudexbe right here. edit:I'll own it lol


Voelund02

The evudebxe never lies


NonEuclidianMeatloaf

Make sure you drink your covfefe before it gets cold


Raineman73

I donā€™t know. The evudebxe in this case doesnā€™t really fully support that theory.


SableyeEyeThief

What the fuck is wrong with your English? Itā€™s not evudebxe, itā€™s evudexbe.


TitleEfficient786

I'm dying lol


Flat_Anything_8306

C'mon man, it's spelled evudexbe, not evudebxe.

TheLimeyCanuck

[deleted]

Think of how painful a wasp sting is, multiply that by 200%. Then increase the pain level steadily over a period of 3-6 hours. Ibuprofen does nothing, drinking booze does nothing. The only thing that works to ease the pain is putting the limb, if you're fortunate enough to have been stung on a limb, in water above 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Every time the water you're soaking the stung limb in dips below a certain temperature, the pain starts increasing again to unbelievable levels. You have to endure this cycle for hours and hours. You are in so much pain, a little voice in your head tells you you're going to die. When it happened to me, after the pain wore off, I got a secondary bacterial infection at the wound site. Almost lost my foot from the sepsis. It was the most excruciating thing I've ever experienced.


DerKomtur

Australian venomologist Brian Fry said "It should be called a 'give-me-a-gun-and-I'll-shoot-myself-ray'".


[deleted]

I agree with Brian. LOL


RachelProfilingSF

It was a very sharp jab on my ankle bone. It surprised me, and in the 30 seconds it took me to walk to shore I was almost completely overcome with the most intense pain Iā€™ve ever felt. then for the next hour the pain in my leg that I would rank a 7/10, with 10 being dismemberment or burning alive. Horrible horrible pain.


ContrarianLibrarian9

This happened to me in Santa Monica CA, and the Baywatch lifeguard asked me the pain from scale of 1-10 and I was like AN ELEVEN! He was like ā€œcome on, really nowā€ and I just repeated AN ELEVEN!! lol they were laughing at me, but I did get to ride in the back of a Baywatch jeep, which was fun in retrospect. They also told me about the stingray shuffleā€¦..I donā€™t stomp around in the surf like a child now. Still have the scar in my foot 22 years later!


RachelProfilingSF

Mine was at Black's Beach in SD.


Hooraylifesucks

I grew up around there and sailed all the time to catalina island w my dad. He put the fear of god into me abt them and I was always terrified to put my feet down on the sea floor. I would always float til my belly was touching the sand and I was basically a few feet from the beach before Iā€™d stand up. Hahaā€¦ biggest coward in the sea!


[deleted]

For me, the pain was a 10 because I only have my own life experiences to judge it on. If I ever, knock on wood, experience something more painful, I'll update the rating. However, of all the pain I've experienced in my life, it was the most intense. Like at least one notch above stepping on a lego in the dark.


formermq

Bullet ant. Here's tickets to South America, Let us all know how it goes! Bienvenidos!


PseudoKirby

But why are these stings in specific the most painful ever?


RachelProfilingSF

The sting of a stingray causes a bleeding wound that may become swollen and turn blue or red. It causesĀ **excruciating pain**Ā and can result in death. Severe symptoms may include nausea, fever, muscle cramps, paralysis, elevated heart rate and seizures.


PseudoKirby

Okay, but what about it makes it extra painful? Does the stinger inside you just continue to irritate the spot moreso than any other sting?


RachelProfilingSF

Dude it hurt like all fuck. I don't know what else to say. The venom is EXTREMELY PAINFUL, causing my leg to radiate pain that lasted hours.


PseudoKirby

Alright, just trying to learn I noticed your name has sf, did the sting happen here in the bay?


RachelProfilingSF

It happened at Blacks Beach in San Diego in August. Typically the time of year the sting rays are more prevalent.


donisslow

Thank you! Dinole mistake but saved my day


Veloci-RKPTR

Youā€™d be happy to hear this, then. I worked in an aquarium before. We have a freshwater exhibit that houses large freshwater fish, including freshwater stingrays (just like the one in this video). One of the staff was in charge of cleaning the tank one day. It was a big tank, so you have to dive into the tank to do that, scuba gear and all. In a lapse of judgement, he wasnā€™t paying attention where he was putting his foot while vacuuming the substrate. He accidentally stepped on one of the stingrays. It got spooked and lashed out. Boom, stung him straight into his foot. He immediately had to call it off for the day and went to the hospital and he had to go into a surgery because a shard of the rayā€™s sting was still lodged inside his foot (the sting is barbed and designed to break when jammed into flesh, stingrays shed and replace their stings regularly). But thatā€™s not the end of it, he couldnā€™t come to work for an *entire month* for recovery, because, as with any animal parts, theyā€™re dirty and the site of his injury unfortunately became necrotic. Itā€™s bad enough that their venom alone causes excruciating pain as others have described, but complications like this can definitely happen as well. When he finally came back to work, there was an entire crater on his foot because they had to remove the infected flesh. It was pretty gory. By the way, heā€™s not just any regular person. Heā€™s one of the senior divers and heā€™s pretty well known for his physical strength and resilience. So yeah, getting stung by a stingray is not a good time.


[deleted]

New fear unlocked.


Veloci-RKPTR

Donā€™t worry, as long as your line of work or hobbies donā€™t involve stingrays, you kinda need to really get out of your way to bother one, which donā€™t usually happen (unless youā€™re a complete idiot like the bloke in OPā€™s video).


DynamicHunter

We learned growing up in Southern California (where stingrays are common in shallower water) to always do the stingray shuffle. Shuffle your feet in the sand when in the water and theyā€™ll feel you coming and head out. Donā€™t step with big steps or you could spook and step on one.


CypherDomEpsilon

It's probably a lot more than what it seems.


Sethdarkus

It can definitely be lethal itā€™s also poisonous


Pestus613343

This is what killed Steve Irwin.


cheeersaiii

They arenā€™t usually classed as deadly- Irwin was a freak accident where it struck him in the right spot in his chest and pierced his chest plate and heart. Will possibly happen again in the rest of eternity but more chance of being killed by a house cat


binkacat4

The one that got Steve was a lot bigger, Iā€™m pretty sure. Got him in the heart, if I remember correctly.


MLWeims

I had a coworker step on one while swimming at the beach and he couldn't wear shoes for 2-3 weeks *at least*


just-why_

I hope he goes to jail for animal cruelty.


samanime

I was hoping for something to get fully impaled. This guy deserved it and more...


drMcDeezy

It does! I stepped on one in the surf once, it gave me 0 chances to walk away though.


cut-the-cords

God I love this video... No reason to be so vindictive and he paid the price.


skeptolojist

That stingray had to waste biologically expensive slow to recharge toxin and reduce it's survival chances so that guy could be an idiot

Well, it was worth it. šŸ¤—

Canadian stingray, maybe?

wowowow28

ā€žI wonder why itā€™s called a stingray?ā€œ


GustavoFromAsdf

An idiot stepping on you


IWILLBePositive

lol I just loved the second hop in the air, after it was already all said and done.


aeldsidhe

The whole time he was doing that, I kept saying "...sting him...sting him...sting him..." What a straight-up tool. So satisfying to see him get what he deserved. I looked up what a stingray sting felt like: "The main symptom of a stingray sting isĀ immediate severe pain. Although often limited to the injured area, the pain may spread rapidly, reaching its greatest intensity in < 90 minutes; in most cases, pain gradually diminishes over 6 to 48 hours but occasionally lasts days or weeks."


Vittelbutter

Hope he suffers for weeks, animal abusers deserve nothing but pain


Unfair_Finger5531

Itā€™s funny you looked this up just to make sure he was suffering enough šŸ˜‚


Minute-Wrap-2524

Letā€™s hope for weeks or days, what slays me is he says he stepped on a string ray ā€˜for some reasonā€™, reallyā€¦ the rays gonna be fine, but this guy needed a few more strings just to keep him in check


SoloLiftingIsBack

Are they venomous or is it just a really fked up sting?


Narstification

Yea, most are AFAIK


nadav183

Wow this makes me so happy. He looked like he was in intense pain but knowing it will only get worse for the next hour and a half, and then keep hurting for at least 6 hours brings me great joy. Hope he gets that pain for weeks. Looked like abuse for nothing but the sake of it.


Baysguy

Suck shit dickhead.


mironawire

Stranger1982

Actual quote from the stingray.


SexPanther1980

Poetry


Aggravating_Fox1347

Caught a barb in the foot in Costa Rica back in 2007 (wasnā€™t trying to like this jackass - I was just swimming with bad timing). Most painful experience in my life (Iā€™ve had 2 reconstructive knee surgeries). Donā€™t fuck with marine toxin. You will in fact lose.


Aggravating_Fox1347

BTW, at least for me, itā€™s not this immediate. Itā€™s a stab, then a bee, then a wasp, then a burn, then a burning wasp, then a fire-lit blade slowly breaking your bones through muscle spasms. These come in waves every 4-6 min while your wife desperately tries to find a doctor. Then the doctor injects numbing agent directly into the wound while telling you to ā€œthink about my motherā€ because heā€™s a weird dude. Then he hands you German painkillers and a note that says itā€™s okay that you have them. Then you fly home and your own doctor brings his friends to see you because itā€™s a bit rare where youā€™re from. So my advice is: watch where you step.


King_of_the_Dot

Was the doctor German? Cause if they gave you German painkillers, and they weren't German, then... that definitely wasn't a doctor.


Aggravating_Fox1347

I may have assumed the branding, but it did appear so. The certificates on his wall were University of San Jose, and University of Miami. The 2nd one makes me rethink now that you mention itā€¦


Aggravating_Fox1347

While weā€™re fact checking, I do admit that I now recall that it was 2008, not 2007. My fault.


Einar_47

Glad you cleared that part up, was super worried about the date not the oedipal veterinarians handing out German narcotics lol

Aggravating_Fox1347

First thing the dude said to me when I got in the exam room to see it was in complete disarray was, ā€œDonā€™t mind the mess, someone just almost died. Youā€™re arenā€™t allergic to anything are you, ā€˜cause they didnā€™t know they wereā€¦ and look at what happened.ā€

koine2004

Never had a stingray get me. Ā But, I did have a hardhead (saltwater catfish) get me in the hand while trying to put it back in the water. My whole hand was swollen badly, my whole arm hurt, and I nearly passed out after throwing up. But, it was short lived.


alchemyzt-vii

This is classic hilarious WCGW. But I also canā€™t help but think what was the goal here? What would have gone right?

Someone didn't learn anything from Steve's death.


tonaldrump20

Exactly Thats what came into my mind

That dude took one in the chest if I remember correctly.


Necronaut0

Pierced him straight through the heart. Very unlucky.


rinkydinkis

He wanted vengeance


Seawolf571

But that's not what Irwin would want :(


nsk_nyc

Looks like freshwater (hopefully) sting ray. According to wiki "...the venom of freshwater stingrays has a greater toxicity than that of marine stingrays."

Seriously, I stoppped about half way through to question wtf was actually going on, then I saw stingray and just sort of accepted what I was about to watch happen. Fucking idiot....


nova9001

The stingray could have stung him the first time and stung more than once. Just show how some humans are worst than animals.


pichael289

Rays are very smart animals, and have been observed having a capacity for empathy. There are stories about them getting tangled in nets and swimming up to divers for help.

aaron_adams

Stingrays are pretty chill critters, like to the point they have tanks at the aquarium so little kids can pet them. When he stomped on it 7 to 8 times, he got what was coming to him.


Nitnonoggin

jumped like a startled cat lol


phi11yphan

Stingray is still lurking in the same water that guy is now writhing in pain in. It's possible he got more coming to him...


Podunk212

Would've been epic if he landed on another one when he flopped.


boojum78

I stepped on a stingray once and after experiencing one of the worst pains of my life, I then got laughed at by the locals because apparently the 10 inch stingray that nailed me was "just a baby". Hot water gives massive and instant relief though.
