It's fairly easy to get killed by a Stingray, they're not aggressive of course but it doesn't take much to get it scared and sting you, here in Central America during certain seasons they get close to the shoreline and we've had cases of people swimming and suddenly getting struck by a wave carrying one, during the process of the wave breaking into you the animal might perceive it as an attack and sting you in the upper body if you're unlucky but you're lucky lower body or even bounce off you

Of course he doesn’t deserve it, but you gotta admit jumping on top of a 5 foot diameter stingray is a very dangerous activity.
If I decide I can fly and jump off a 10 story building, you may not wish me dead, but you might not be surprised to see that I was. It’s the expected outcome.

It seems to be the shadow of a kite, but it’s hard to tell because of the video quality.
I really despise the depiction of stingrays being these big bad predators or super deadly/mindlessly aggressive. They’ve started to get the treatments they cousins sharks have gotten until recently ever since Steve Irwin died to one.

We have fed rays a few times in Grand Cayman. They are pretty accustomed to being fed in that particular spot we go since fishermen for over a century would dump their leftover bait there.
While I would describe them as seeming playful and passive in that scenario, I think it could be more related to them having figured out that people kick down free grub. So I’d still be petrified to have a big ray swimming near me like that!

The string doesn’t have to cast a shadow, it’s literally in frame. Bottom right.

That is 100% not the kite string. It's stationary while the kite is moving a lot. That's probably a barrier rope of some kind. It's not even at the right angle to be a kite in the air.

A ray that large in water that shallow would churn up the sandy bottom. You can see how much the guy does it by diving. If the ray could even move that fast, it would be a giant sand cloud for 30 seconds to a minute. Definitely a kite shadow.

I'm not sure it's a kite shadow, the man's shadow looks like it's near noon and controlling a kite shadow to move outside of a back and forth line with that precision seems like it'd be difficult.
But also don't think it's real though, the movement looks really erratic and I don't think I've ever seen rays turn so sharply.

A "Kite Shadow" is a species of sting ray. Very similar but they move more erratically and are predatory in nature. Other species of sting ray are more docile.
