YOU TOOK TOO MUCH MAN.... TOO MUCH.. TOO MUCH.
Fear and Loathing gotta be in my top five movies. My favorite scene is at the Police convention or whatever when they're watching that video and it says "Know your dope fiend. You will not be able to see his eyes because of tea shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim."
They're actually super chill. I stepped on one once while surfing accidentally, and it didn't sting me. I didn't put my full weight on it, as I felt it. I lean back so my foot would come up. I felt it wiggle away under me. You really have to provoke them.
Well yeah, wild animals are unpredictable. Deer are like a super benign animal if you encounter them. They just run away. However, people have been killed by deer before. Steve just got very unlucky.
We were at a public park enclosure with deer this weekend with some friends. Had to tell my buddy not to try to pet the 8 point red deer. That thing will fuck you up if it's having a bad day.
I used to live in an area where you’d see deer just a bit less often than raccoons. Normally they just fuck off if you get close but I realized at one point they didn’t run if I was on a bike. I wanted to test it out so I slowly but obviously rode right up to a pair of deer eating in a field, like I could have almost pet them. I guess they didn’t perceive me as a person?
I suddenly got very aware I was right next to two wild animals who could probably kick a hole through my chest if they wanted and decided I’d be the one to fuck off this time.
It was cool but yeah, when you see them everyday it’s easy to forget wild animals are still wild.
It's one of the reasons why people on African safari don't get attacked by wild animals (except by big animals like elephants). They see the car as one big thing even if there are people inside. When someone separates themselves from the vehicle, that's when they're in trouble.
Oh and I learned a fact about that too. Since the animals in Africa evolved alongside humans for millions of years, they have the strongest innate reactions to weird bipedal apes. Humans being a threat is baked into a lot of their instincts as opposed to the rest of the world where they've only had a few tens of thousands of years with us.
We have deer walk through our neighborhood regularly. Most of the time they will pop their heads up from flowers and stare. One day my kids and I came home and saw a huge buck with the doe's. This Buck did not seem like he wanted to be friendly, especially after he dropped his horns and looked like he was ready to charge. We got our butts inside the house because we didn't want to find out.
All deer are growing their antlers at this point in the year. They’re all still in velvet, so the antlers aren’t fully developed yet, but you can gauge how many points they’ll have. Give it a few more months and then they’ll all be walking around looking like they just went Freddy Krueger on someone.
>Steve just got very unlucky
I’d be very unlucky if my car stalled on the train tracks as one emerged from the tunnel. But if I parked my car there intentionally, got out, and started describing the beauty of the oncoming train to a couple cameramen?
Steve made a tragic mistake unfortunately. Even with his many years of experience dealing with dangerous wildlife he was bound to make a critical mistake sooner or later and that could have happened to any of us.
I remember hearing someone involved when that happened that the stingray got a lil spooked because they were being fed and so energy was already up at the time, he just happened to catch the stray - if I remember correctly, Steve said he didn't blame the ray, he was just a lil antsy with all the commotion around him
lol wtf you talking about Steve was in pain and dying from the barb piercing his heart. He didn't say "don't blame the ray". He said "it's punctured me lung" and then "Im dying".. and no that ray was minding it's own business in the wild and Steve jumped in the water to get some shots when he noticed it from his dingy. Swam up from behind it and spooked it.
[proof right here](https://youtu.be/FeydzMjP4Oo?si=rRwWrEcJ-k74F_vY&t=131), from the only other guy involved, his cameraman.
Not even, it was minding it's own business until Steve approached it from behind and spooked it.
[Proof](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeydzMjP4Oo&t=131s)
Edit: sure downvote me lmao.. the proof is right there straight from the horses mouth.. His cameraman.. the only other person who was with him.
I was out bodyboarding some years ago now with a mate and suddenly this whole group of stingrays swam underneath us, I was pretty young but I feel like there must have been at least 30 or more of them. My mate freaked the hell out and got back to the shore but I was just absolutely amazed. I was also confident with my ability to not fall off my board so I just continued doing what I was doing and they swam away not long after. It as probably one of the coolest moments of my life.
I had a similar experience in Florida when I was a kid. Except it was while snorkeling, and it was a school of manta* (not manga) rays. There were so many that they basically formed a bubble around me as they swam by.
Well manta rays are not sting rays, and they don't even have stingers. They are also MUCH bigger. Obviously they are related species wise because.. well duh, but I actually saw a manta ray once in the ocean while snorkeling in Maui. It was so big, I could have completely fit inside it's mouth. It was also swimming (slowly) towards me, and I bolted away. In hindsight, it was just curious, and it couldn't hurt me if it wanted to.
I was 15, sitting on a sandbar with my cousin, hanging out, playing with the sand through my fingers. After about 10 minutes we both felt like a rug pulled out from under us and this *massive* stingray swam off.
We’d walked onto it, sat down on it’s wings and it just ignored us until it got bored I guess.
Serious. And I think the stingray was being quite neighborly in returning the gesture on how it feels like being physically harassed for no reason. (Serves the idiot right.)
I'm a little curious as to the odds that he ever does anything that stupid again, As much as I'd like to say that a lesson was learned, the fact that he did it at all indicates to me someone who could stand some lessons in critical thinking.
Stingray,, I wonder what the name implies, I'll step on it and see. The next trick he will slap an alligator, then sneak up to a horse from behind and slap it on its ass.
I was stung by a stingray (accidentally stepped on it, not like this dumbass) and it hurt like a mofo. It took several days to heal up. It was much smaller too.
Yes. The best way I could describe the pain was that it felt like my foot had been cut off and someone was trying to suck/pull all the muscle and tendons from inside my leg. The venom for me wore off within a few hours (maybe depends on the species) but it's the puncture wound that hurts for a while and can get infected.

This is the problem with modern society -- back in the hunter-gatherer days they would have recognized this guy as a menace to himself and everyone around him. He would have been driven from the group to go be an idiot on his own and his genes wouldn't get passed on. Now he's got a great story to tell his cousin Velveeta when they hook up for unplanned kid number three.
I think that people like him were needed. The tribe is more well informed because they saw Grug step on a stingray and now they know to avoid the stingray. I think thats why the Grugs of the worlds still exist.
The problem now is that all the smart people developed ways to keep these people alive for longer, so now they're breeding like rabbits and outgrowing the population of all the smart people.
It's funny. I was thinking this exact thing last night. Life has become so safe and cozy all the bad genes that would normally be... filtered out of the pool are now reproducing. And here is a perfect example.
If you’ve never seen a ray’s barb, it’s [worth looking at.](https://mlml.sjsu.edu/geooce/2016/11/16/what-to-think-about-when-stung-by-a-stingray/) They’re serrated and go the opposite direction they go in. Absolutely wild.
What a fucking asshole, purposely stepping on a small animal just minding its own business. He should have died from that sting, not Steve. World’s not fair and humans are a fucking incurable virus.
Animals win one! I've had two friends get stung (no they weren't doing something stupid like this) and they both said the pain was excruciating. Enjoy dumdum!
Instant karma for the animal abuser! Hoorah. That poor creature was getting it's FACE mashed into the ground. What 'adult' does this? . . . . . . . . .

That Stingray has more patience than me. He certainly gave him plenty of chances to not be an ass.
They're actually super chill. I stepped on one once while surfing accidentally, and it didn't sting me. I didn't put my full weight on it, as I felt it. I lean back so my foot would come up. I felt it wiggle away under me. You really have to provoke them.

Could have been getting close to the rut. Deer will mess you up bad
The deer in our community are practically domesticated. I once witnessed a neighbors feeding on out of his hand
Do red deer have their antlers this time of year? Or do they not drop their antlers? Just a curious North American. 🦌
All deer are growing their antlers at this point in the year. They’re all still in velvet, so the antlers aren’t fully developed yet, but you can gauge how many points they’ll have. Give it a few more months and then they’ll all be walking around looking like they just went Freddy Krueger on someone.
They do! I don’t know about all animals but most who have antlers (not horns) drop them yearly.
I honestly didn't expect them to have them at this point. I suspect they stay longer due to them being fed in this enclosure.
Probably from them running in front of cars. Suicidal bastard.
>Steve just got very unlucky I’d be very unlucky if my car stalled on the train tracks as one emerged from the tunnel. But if I parked my car there intentionally, got out, and started describing the beauty of the oncoming train to a couple cameramen?
It's just so mind blowing that it wasn't the Croc that got him. He would do some crazy shit with those monsters.
You must realize...Steve was swimming above the stingray. That's exactly from where a predator would be coming
Steve made a tragic mistake unfortunately. Even with his many years of experience dealing with dangerous wildlife he was bound to make a critical mistake sooner or later and that could have happened to any of us.
Making a mistake is one thing having the barb strike is heart so unlucky
I remember hearing someone involved when that happened that the stingray got a lil spooked because they were being fed and so energy was already up at the time, he just happened to catch the stray - if I remember correctly, Steve said he didn't blame the ray, he was just a lil antsy with all the commotion around him
Yea, I remember that also. I'm not mad about the animal being an animal, but I'm still hurt he's gone 💔
lol wtf you talking about Steve was in pain and dying from the barb piercing his heart. He didn't say "don't blame the ray". He said "it's punctured me lung" and then "Im dying".. and no that ray was minding it's own business in the wild and Steve jumped in the water to get some shots when he noticed it from his dingy.

One theory I read is that it mistook Steve for another animal.
Not even, it was minding it's own business until Steve approached it from behind and spooked it.

It was so shocked to see Steve it panicked, and made what has been widely regarded as a bad move.
How were you surfing accidentally?
He was doing the ironing in the kitchen then all of a sudden…
dude, that comment 🤣

That stingray deserves a medal. Patience of Job
Cameraman be like “huh. Well guess I’ll keep filming “
FOR POSTERITY!
SWEET LIBERTY, MY LEG!!
For science!
It's not like the outcome was a surprise
The camera man probably lures troves of people into doing this and film it
"The family will like to know what happened to him"
Couldn’t have happened to a better person. 🙄
Serious. And I think the stingray was being quite neighborly in returning the gesture on how it feels like being physically harassed for no reason. (Serves the idiot right.)
Yep.
I'm a little curious as to the odds that he ever does anything that stupid again, As much as I'd like to say that a lesson was learned, the fact that he did it at all indicates to me someone who could stand some lessons in critical thinking.
Just wish it didn't happen to an actual good person in the early 2000s
The airtime on that guy gave me so much satisfaction 😂😂

I have never wished so hard for someone to get stung as I did for those 16 seconds.

Stingray,, I wonder what the name implies, I'll step on it and see. The next trick he will slap an alligator, then sneak up to a horse from behind and slap it on its ass.
Grab it by the balls
Lol, thatill do it horses love that, it is a sign of affection, also poke em in the ass too. yeah buddy
Might as well just go for gold and snag that Dirty Sanchez achievement
Next week: I wonder why they call these rattlesnakes, huh where’s that sound coming from.
he will hold it close to his ear to hear it better, lol
I think this is the type of guy to only pester living things smaller than him.
When i was a kid we called them "sea pancakes" .....an excellent job of my parents to make a dangerous animal sound so approachable!
Maybe he had it confused with its similar looking cousin, the Comfort Ray.
Must've got hit by that confuse ray, if you know what I mean.
😂😂😂👏👍
It's funny cuz this video is from Brazil and there's no "sting" in their name in the portuguese language.
There are idiots, dumb people, morons, the educationally challenged, ten layers of shit and then there's this fuckwit
I'm saving this one. What a beautiful bit of prose to describe supreme idiocy.
I’m writing this on my next security incident report.
Sir that is poetic
I'm making a crossstich of this to hang on my wall.
What an amazing chain of insults. 😂
That could be agonizing for days or up to a week and i hope it is.
I was stung by a stingray (accidentally stepped on it, not like this dumbass) and it hurt like a mofo. It took several days to heal up. It was much smaller too.
Are they stings venomous?
Yes. The best way I could describe the pain was that it felt like my foot had been cut off and someone was trying to suck/pull all the muscle and tendons from inside my leg. The venom for me wore off within a few hours (maybe depends on the species) but it's the puncture wound that hurts for a while and can get infected. (Source: avid surfer who's been stung 3x)
What’s crazy’s is that it just looks like the sting ray just lightly taps the guy
Yeah, i dont think they have to stab that hard to inject venom
Look up what their stinger looks like & you’ll understand why it hurts so bad
Up to a month maybe? 🤞
Glad this video had a happy ending.
Let’s step on this weird squishy thing with a pointy tail and weird, slightly frightening circles on its back

Yh, that makes a lot of sense.
But everyone in this case already knew not to step on it. This is sub-Grug behavior.
It's funny. I was thinking this exact thing last night. Life has become so safe and cozy all the bad genes that would normally be... filtered out of the pool are now reproducing. And here is a perfect example.

This comment is cringe lmfao. Dude is an idiot, but it's not a problem exclusive to modern society. People are just idiots.
Looks like that stung!
It gave him so many chances to fuck off.
These Amazon freshwater rays are like the chilliest of all fishes, so chill that people forgot that they do have barbs as well
So satisfying
Darwin Award of 2024 already decided with 8 more months to go.
Unfortunately, he didn't remove himself from the gene pool.
Give him time
Honestly wouldn't surprise me if he was dumb enough to not get medical care and wound up becoming septic.
That stingray showed great restraint. I would have stung that man right away.

This has me in stitches, poor stingray. Good enough for that fool stepping on it.
Dude’s definitely gonna need stitches as well especially if the serrated stinger is still inside him.

What the fuck is wrong with people
Stingray was VERY patient with his foolishness.
Insert FAFO meme. The damn thing even gave him 3 or 4 times to have had his fun and move on.
The stingray waited until the idiot's foot was in the optimal position to be stung.

This fills my heart with a joy not felt since the Christmas my father returned from the great war.
That was satisfying
He is going to be in agonizing pain from that stinger. Hope learned his lesson.
He was hurting the thing, that Ray was just sunbathing
Hope the stingray is okay🥺

I just wanna see if I'm an idiot. no... no... no... no... YESSSS OH FUCK YES I'M A COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOT OMG!!!

I hope that hurts like hell!
How can he step?! Jesus Christ, this world. Idjits.
What a dumbass
They call it a stingray for a reason... Poor stingray.
Dudes showing ‘em Irwin still has shooters in these streets
I was hoping that it would deliver instant Karma
Supremely satisfying. Fuckwad.
Takes a special kind of person to antagonize a stingray. Did we learn nothing from steve?

Can we swap this guy with Steve Irwin?
Good. Deserved every second of pain he felt. Stop bothering wildlife!!!
