A woman on a boat died after a spotted eagle ray leaped from the water off the Florida Keys Thursday and struck her.

The woman was seated or standing in the front of the boat as her husband piloted the vessel at about 25 mph out of a channel, Pino said. “The ray just actually popped up in front of the vessel,” he said. “The father had not even a second to react. It was too late. It happened instantly and the woman fell backwards and, unfortunately, died as a result of the collision.” The force of the blow pushed the woman backward and she died when she hit her head on the boat deck.

Wow, I thought she dies because the ray stunged her, but I was wrong. She died because she hit her head on the boat while she fell. That is sad. ;-(
