    You are so right about it being like getting hit by a car, JtC. Check out this video about two separate instances of eagle rays jumping into boats--the outcome in the first instance was far better than that of the second. Rays, especially eagles and mantas, are very powerful.

    I remember when both those Incidents happened.
    Worse than the rays for jumping are spinner sharks, they have almost landed on me on several occasions

    Spinner sharks have almost landed on you, @Danimal? I'm curious...what do you do on a boat that has sharks almost landing on you?

    I remember seeing on Blue planet I think a whole group doing this. Jump to middle of this clip to see similar. Truly awesome.

    One of the truly great sights in engineering, the artistry of a highly skilled welder......unless it was done by robot of course. :p

    No boat, just a surfboard. Every Spring and Fall thousands of sharks migrate through my area and the Spinners while not aggressive are very careless on when and where they jump.
