This sort of thing never made the news before, but now it does.

Fisherman Stabbed By Stingray Barb
November 29, 2006

A FISHERMAN in a trawler off South Australia has been stabbed in the chest by a stingray barb, police say.

The man was on a prawn trawler about seven nautical miles north-west of Wallaroo when he was stabbed by the ray about 10pm (CDT) yesterday.

Police said the barb did not lodge itself in the man's chest or cause any respiratory problems and he was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

Television personality and environmentalist Steve Irwin died in September after a stingray barb pierced his chest.
