have you ever put a can of sardines into a hydraulic press?
it’s like that.
SO YEAH this shouldn’t concern you overmuch, because human fingers are VERY MUCH NOT on the menu for stingrays!
that said, accidents can and do happen, so stingray touch tanks really should display the appropriate osha warnings by the feeding stations:
petting them is totally fine, though. just make sure you keep tabs on where your fingers are at all times if you’re waving food around in the vicinity of a stingray mouth though, so you can tell if you’re missing one right away!
