That's what you get by trying to pick one up by the spines...
I did same when very young snorkling in PI. Looked easy...but those things move fast.
You are lucky...my hand swelled up like a basketball, and the doc's had to do some serious digging to get the SOB out...they are very brittle and have microscopic barbs to make it difficult to do so.
