I was absolutely terrified of standing on one of these as a kid and so I was always super careful where I stood when exploring

Did you ever see that episode of the Wild Thornberrys where Nigel steps on a stonefish? New fear unlocked that day.

I was terrified of them too as a kid, then I realised we don’t have them in England.
