We were told by our tour guide on Stingray Sailing that the croc. hunter startled a sting ray that was resting on the bottom. The croc hunter took the barb in his heart instead of leaving it in he instinctively pulled it out. In similar cases individuals who leave the barb in and obtain medical treatment have survived.
