Yeah I read that article you linked.
Danger To Humans
A needlefish is being cleaned by a cleaner wrasse, Labroides phthirophagus. Needlefish, like all ray-finned beloniforms, are capable of making short jumps out of the water at up to 60 km/h (37 mph). Since needlefish swim near the surface, they often leap over the decks of shallow boats rather than going around. This jumping activity is greatly excited by artificial light at night; night fisherman and divers in areas across the Pacific Ocean have been "attacked" by schools of suddenly excited needlefish diving across the water towards the light source at high speed. Their sharp beaks are capable of inflicting deep puncture wounds, often breaking off inside the victim in the process. For many traditional Pacific Islander communities, who primarily fish on reefs from low boats, needlefish represent an even greater risk of injury than sharks.[6]
Two historical deaths have been attributed to needlefish. The first was in 1977 when a 10-year-old Hawaiian boy, night fishing with his father at Hanamaulu Bay, Kaua'i, was killed when a 1.0-to-1.2-metre-long (3.3 to 3.9 ft) needlefish jumped from the water and pierced his eye and brain.[7] The second was a 16-year-old Vietnamese boy, stabbed through the heart by the 15 cm (5.9 in) beak of a needlefish in 2007 while night diving for sea cucumbers near Halong Bay.[8]
Injury and/or death by Needlefish have also been documented in more recent years. A young snorkeler in Florida was nearly killed when a houndfish (Tylosurus crocodilus) leapt from the water and impaled her in the heart.[9] In 2012, The German kitesurfer Wolfram Reiners, was seriously wounded in the foot by a needlefish near the Seychelles.[10] In October 2013, a Saudi Arabian news website also reported the death of an unnamed young Saudi man who died of hemorrhaging that resulted from being hit by a needlefish on the left side of his neck.[11] In 2014, a Russian tourist was nearly killed by a needlefish in the waters outside Nha Trang, in Vietnam. The fish bit her neck and left pieces of its teeth inside her spinal cord, paralyzing her.[12][13] In early January 2016, a local 39-year old Indonesian woman from Palu, Central Sulawesi was deeply wounded when a half-metre long needlefish jumped and pierced her just above the right eye. She was swimming in 80-cm deep water in Tanjung Karang, a popular recreational spot in the Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi. She was subsequently pronounced dead a few hours later despite efforts to save her at a local hospital. Shortly after, pictures of her horrific injury spread through instant messaging applications, while several local news websites also reported the incident, some erroneously attributed the attack to a marlin instead.[14][15]
