magmadar
friendly reminder that when swordswallowers do these tricks , the blades aren´t sharpened or lethal and basically long iron sticks.
poochyena
lol, wow, thats it? Well, I mean, anyone could do that!
waccracker
Yeah but I bet you don't get any do-overs if you mess up either. And I'm sure that's lethal if you smash it into the floor, come on man!
jarjarbinkswasthebestcharacterinstarwars
That sword was still pointed at the end. Maybe not a sharp point but it would have no problem ripping through flesh
swen83
i don't think that would have mattered one bit to his internals had he hit the floor.
TheGoodStuffx100
It still hurts though
Groose
It can still tear your throat and insides up
iamthedoctorthisismytardis
Yeah, but if you got rebar shoved through your body after slamming into the floor, it'd be lethal. Just sayin'.
WillStripForRP
But if you look closly at the video his looks like it has a point
ZobRombie
Long iron sticks inside of what is basically a soft meat bag is still a really risky thing...
MethLarry
Its still fucking impressive
Hendlton
I was thinking about that. For the real trick, he should have cut a piece of paper with it to show the sharpness.
MickeyB3625
Fuck you dude
that being sad , it´s still very sick !
justtwobrothers
Still, though
EroticZombiePants
If that trick failed, he's still impaling his innards even with a dull sword.
13thDukeofWybourne
I'd wager that without great precautions and skill a long iron stick through 1/3 of your body tends to be lethal.
Probably not. It may pierce or tear his stomach but it's not *that* deadly, especially since they had medics on standby.
NastyHabit
I keep telling her..
abeardedblacksmith
So if he messed up, he'd just have a long iron stick shoved farther into his body. No biggie

Bugofbelgium
X-ray to authenticate.
People pay good money to see magicians cut people in half, make them disappear and catch bullets with their teeth, I why not this, then?
because people dont know how magicians do it and its interesting, doing something everyone can see is fake is not.
zekrambogg
The holes in the blade are actually there to demonstrated that no, it's not collapsible in this case. Sword swallowing isn't an illusion.
It's just a skill that relies on body control to bend your esophagus properly. I'm guessing most acrobats could pick it up fairly quickly.
brianclementsvatua
"just a skill"
ecodude
Takes longer than you'd think. Most sword swallowers can only use a long dagger, a full sword like this would take years to master.
FormerRoustabout
I taught myself sword swallowing at 17. Lots and lots of research. Will do a post soon. It is real. Can be dangerous. Guy is awesome/crazy.
daydark1337
I love how everyone is an expert on everything. I doubt you know more about swordswallowing than the rest of us. You're speculating.
Pheonix686
I'd imagine that would still do some serious damage to his mouth/throat if it all went wrong though.
Yes, blunt or not it'd probably have punctured a couple organs at least.
I mean minimizing risk is one thing, complete safety is another.
kosmoosi

iceinacup
Usually they start of with a thin wire hanger, just to get rid of their gag reflex and so if they do mess up it won't cause serious damage
NachoAverageBurrito
They use hangers for that?? And here I am using dicks like some sort of filthy casual.
Either hangers or just regular wires. I'm not sure which. I saw it on a show called freakshow (Highly recommend)
CoomebackKidd
Like many skills, it all starts with suppressing your gag reflex and extends from there.

"You have the right to remain silent... forever".
they would Keep the blade stable so it didn't cause more bleeding and keep the patient immobile until they could get in an operating room
Nah something like that, he's gonna be a goner real quick, he'd bleed out before we even got him on a stretcher
[deleted]
The performers usually have a tube of some kind that they swallow first d/t sharp edges. Hell'va job to secure that airway though.

Call dispatch and let them know that you have a DOA patient.
How do you figure? Unless you knew the sword perforated the aorta then I believe he'd be viable.
Osarphi
Well, if the edge is sharp, he will cut himself internally on a meter by failing, and the bleeding will surely kill him.
Gomer592
the edge is never sharp on a swallow sword, the point is tho, and if he screwed up , ruptured stomach = dead

Idk man my ex wife did it all the time but I never saw it. Sounds like an illusion to me.
DougForcett
Sword swallowing isn't a trick, they literally swallow it. I guarantee the sword he used wasn't sharp but it still would have killed him.
Tacowolf7
Yup. Passes between the lungs and pushes the heart to the side a bit I hear.
It could be done with a retractable blade, but this blade has clear markings and too long for the handle, still has blade down his throat.
Muttons1337
Wouldn't the sword not being sharp be the trick to it?
MASSIVESPACEMONKEY
I'm pretty sure if he swallowed a long spoon for this move it would have impaled him if he fucked it up...

Don't lie, we all know you've already got a pole set up in your house ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

magmadar
friendly reminder that when swordswallowers do these tricks , the blades aren´t sharpened or lethal and basically long iron sticks.
poochyena
lol, wow, thats it? Well, I mean, anyone could do that!
waccracker
Yeah but I bet you don't get any do-overs if you mess up either. And I'm sure that's lethal if you smash it into the floor, come on man!
jarjarbinkswasthebestcharacterinstarwars
That sword was still pointed at the end. Maybe not a sharp point but it would have no problem ripping through flesh
swen83
i don't think that would have mattered one bit to his internals had he hit the floor.
TheGoodStuffx100
It still hurts though
Groose
It can still tear your throat and insides up
iamthedoctorthisismytardis
Yeah, but if you got rebar shoved through your body after slamming into the floor, it'd be lethal. Just sayin'.
WillStripForRP
But if you look closly at the video his looks like it has a point
ZobRombie
Long iron sticks inside of what is basically a soft meat bag is still a really risky thing...
MethLarry
Its still fucking impressive
Hendlton
I was thinking about that. For the real trick, he should have cut a piece of paper with it to show the sharpness.
MickeyB3625
Fuck you dude
magmadar
that being sad , it´s still very sick !
justtwobrothers
Still, though
EroticZombiePants
If that trick failed, he's still impaling his innards even with a dull sword.
13thDukeofWybourne
I'd wager that without great precautions and skill a long iron stick through 1/3 of your body tends to be lethal.
Hendlton
Probably not. It may pierce or tear his stomach but it's not *that* deadly, especially since they had medics on standby.
NastyHabit
I keep telling her..
abeardedblacksmith
So if he messed up, he'd just have a long iron stick shoved farther into his body. No biggie

nah I dont think they do that, noone would pay money to see that shit in that case
Bugofbelgium
X-ray to authenticate.
Hendlton
People pay good money to see magicians cut people in half, make them disappear and catch bullets with their teeth, I why not this, then?
owlest
because people dont know how magicians do it and its interesting, doing something everyone can see is fake is not.
zekrambogg
The holes in the blade are actually there to demonstrated that no, it's not collapsible in this case. Sword swallowing isn't an illusion.
zekrambogg
It's just a skill that relies on body control to bend your esophagus properly. I'm guessing most acrobats could pick it up fairly quickly.
brianclementsvatua
"just a skill"
ecodude
Takes longer than you'd think. Most sword swallowers can only use a long dagger, a full sword like this would take years to master.
FormerRoustabout
I taught myself sword swallowing at 17. Lots and lots of research. Will do a post soon. It is real. Can be dangerous. Guy is awesome/crazy.
daydark1337
I love how everyone is an expert on everything. I doubt you know more about swordswallowing than the rest of us. You're speculating.
Pheonix686
I'd imagine that would still do some serious damage to his mouth/throat if it all went wrong though.
Sheex
Yes, blunt or not it'd probably have punctured a couple organs at least.
Pheonix686
I mean minimizing risk is one thing, complete safety is another.
kosmoosi

iceinacup
Usually they start of with a thin wire hanger, just to get rid of their gag reflex and so if they do mess up it won't cause serious damage
NachoAverageBurrito
They use hangers for that?? And here I am using dicks like some sort of filthy casual.
iceinacup
Either hangers or just regular wires. I'm not sure which. I saw it on a show called freakshow (Highly recommend)
CoomebackKidd
Like many skills, it all starts with suppressing your gag reflex and extends from there.

Given the vasculature around that area if he nicks something diesel won't save him unless he does it in a hospital OR.

Yeah, but he pretty much would have to fall into the prepped OR because by the time he is ready brought into the clinic he's gone.

Without a fully staffed trauma OR that he fell into, blood loss would take him well before he could be moved off the stage.

Stabilize and sign over to a surgeon before he dies?

unless you have a blakemore tube in your kit, good luck stabilizing shit
Cleverpanda
My training is in advanced wilderness first aid and rescue, I'm no ER doc or Paramedic... What does that do? Lol

a blakemore tube is a surgical tool that allows you to stop upper GI bleeding via an inflatable balloon. It was a joke, no amb has one.

"You have the right to remain silent... forever".

they would Keep the blade stable so it didn't cause more bleeding and keep the patient immobile until they could get in an operating room

Nah something like that, he's gonna be a goner real quick, he'd bleed out before we even got him on a stretcher

The performers usually have a tube of some kind that they swallow first d/t sharp edges. Hell'va job to secure that airway though.

Intubate to protect airway, bilateral large bore ivs wide open and diesel bolus to trauma hospital. Maybe take cspine if youre feelin saucy

Intubation is extra easy because the esophagus is already blocked by the sword :D

Call dispatch and let them know that you have a DOA patient.
JD7003
How do you figure? Unless you knew the sword perforated the aorta then I believe he'd be viable.
Osarphi
Well, if the edge is sharp, he will cut himself internally on a meter by failing, and the bleeding will surely kill him.
Gomer592
the edge is never sharp on a swallow sword, the point is tho, and if he screwed up , ruptured stomach = dead

Sword swallowing isn't an illusion though.
ArkenX
Idk man my ex wife did it all the time but I never saw it. Sounds like an illusion to me.
DougForcett
Sword swallowing isn't a trick, they literally swallow it. I guarantee the sword he used wasn't sharp but it still would have killed him.
Tacowolf7
Yup. Passes between the lungs and pushes the heart to the side a bit I hear.
PatrikLilja
It could be done with a retractable blade, but this blade has clear markings and too long for the handle, still has blade down his throat.
Muttons1337
Wouldn't the sword not being sharp be the trick to it?
MASSIVESPACEMONKEY
I'm pretty sure if he swallowed a long spoon for this move it would have impaled him if he fucked it up...

I mean, maybe? I don't know. I'm not an expert on swallowing, only spitting.
