“A Florida official said the woman died when she hit her head on the boat deck.”

Dear CNN,

I told you so.

- Science Says

From CNN.com:

The accident happened off the coast of Marathon Key, in the Florida Keys about an hour’s drive south of Miami. The woman, who was with her husband and children, was taken to the Mariner Hospital in Tavernier, where she was pronounced dead.

Pino said he had seen rays leap into the air, but added, “it’s very rare for them to collide with objects.”

The spotted-eagle ray weighed about 75 to 80 pounds and had a six-foot wingspan, said Pino.

The Monroe County Sherriff’s Office has full photos of the boat and ray up online here
