Dear god....
I still feel sorry that it happened to Steve..I had a theory if Steve wasnt to pull the damn barb out he would of been able to live long. This is because a Stingrays tail barbs are like a sharp christmas tree but more narrow with jagged edges, so if you are stung by one and you pull it out, it will damage you more then if you left it in until surgery was at hand. Pulling it out tears alot of flesh and resulting in serious damage. Leaving it in is more of a safer way.
Look at the story it said doctors were able to get the barb out and as well it stung the heart of the 81-year old.
If the 81-year old could survive even a stingray attack by not pulling the barb out isnt my \"theory\" true?
Just a little point.
