CBS: World-renowned swallower Scott Nelson was hospitalized after swords sliced his abdominal cavity, and a lobe of his liver was pierced, according to his GoFundMe.
SAN DIEGO — Well-known San Diegan and sword swallower Scott Nelson, also known as “Murrugun The Mystic,” was hospitalized in Washington, DC, following “an unrelated sword swallowing” mishap at Six Flags.
First responders were called to the scene at Six Flags of America on October 31 in the Woodmore CDP of Prince George’s County, Maryland, near Upper Marlboro, and in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, following reports of a medical emergency.
“It was not for an accident during the show but rather for other unrelated health conditions…,” said Josh Bowren, the Production Manager for Aaron Radatz Productionz, which staged the show according to Six Flags officials. more here
Obviously lacked experience
Sword Swallower…that’s just Swell!
His days of sword swallowing are over.
What employment opportunities exist for former sword swallower?
Vice President?
Not associated with a show. Just wanted a snack maybe.
With experience comes complacency.
With complacency comes tragedy.
Play stupid games….
There’s always chainsaw juggling.
Elton John had the same problem, only bruised his liver though.
My gag reflexes would cause me to puke before I ever even tried to force a sword down my throat.
Occupational hazard.
OSHA investigating on the job injury?
Scott is such a cut up…..
You ever see the scene in Disney’s “Aladdin” where the monkey pulls a fully-inserted curved SCIMITAR out of the sword swallower’s mouth and we see his eyes bulge as he clutches his throat in pain for a moment before the scene pans away?
Yep, that guy died a horrible, painful, blood-vomiting death.
…you know,
for KIDS!

Thank God she’s alright and can continue her great work as Boarder Czarina.
Did Ya think it was all show and no risk?
Oh, shit……lol
He finally got the point.
Like most everything else, you just can’t get good sword swallowers anymore.
