The most publicized incidents are accidents and do not involve the type of stingray most commonly found at Stingray City - the Southern Stingray.
In the case of Steve Irwin it was a Bull Ray and in the more recent case in Florida it was an eagle ray. Both of these have an ability to "leap" when startled or when trying to escape being eaten.
Stingrays have NO offense capability - they cannot "aim" the stinger. It is purely for defense.
