Another stingray death - this time in the Keys

Crikey should have just gone on a tourist boat ride
to "Stingray City" in the Caymans. They drop you off in knee deep water that is infested with big stingrays and just about the only thing they tell you is not
to get on TOP of one. Let them swim over you.
I've been there (guess lots of people have!). I remember first they
have you "pet" the rays as they swim under your hand, then they give
you food to put on your palm and the animal comes over, hovers above
your hand ums it right out. During the first activity my very
squeamish wife freaked out from just touching them and just hopped
back on the boat for tue duration. Well this story has been pretty
pointless I guess. At the time of course I thought nothing of it,
years later when "Crikey" (glad you guys are referring to him with a
nickname 'coz I can't think of his actual name, Steve something I
think) happened, I was kind of scared retroactively! Wonder if that
hurt their business at Stingray City.
