Best Answer

You die when you step on a stingrays tail because they have 2 barbs of poison on their tail to protect themselves.

Like if a stingray was a person and you step on their hand they hold hit you with their elbow, Because they are always at the sea floor hidden in sand : You step on them they hit you with their tail, which as I told you before is poisonous.
