Collisions with flying with flying sturgeon have become almost commonplace on the Suwanee River in recent years. However, a spotted eagle ray did leap into another boat in Broward County in October 2006. In that incident a stringray leapt out of the water into the boat of 81 year old James Bertakis. A foot-long barb from the ray stuck into Bertakis' chest and entered his heart chamber. He lived, but only after several weeks in intensive care. Now, at the age of 83, he has made an almost full recovery.
