Canadian stuntman and sword swallower Ryan Stock has been impressing the judges all season by sticking items in his nose, putting a blow torch out on his tongue and holding a chainsaw in his mouth.

During Tuesday night's live trick, Stock swallowed a long rod with a small target on the end and bent forward for his fiancée, AmberLynn Walker, to take aim. Using a crossbow and a flaming arrow, Walker fired a bolt at the target and missed, striking Stock near his neck.

The mishap left judges Heidi Klum Howie Mandel, Mel B., and Simon Cowell in shock as Stock appeared to grab his neck in pain.

The hubs and I have really been enjoying AGT this season. It’s kind of like the old variety shows, and with the exception of the tranny comedian, mostly family friendly.

However, I hate to watch the daredevil acts and always start Web surfing until they are over. I don’t enjoy people putting themselves at risk for money, even if they enjoy the risky behavior. It’s foolish to risk your health like that.

Dude, I see a chick with a bow and it is pointed in my general direction - I’m outta there.

I mean anything meaner than a Nerf gun and I’m a goner.

saw that stunt, thankfully he’s ok....

All the judges (this year) are from foreign countries and a couple of yrs. ago a man from Japan won the million dollars... So, why do they call it “America’s” got talent.

I saw Evel Knievel at Ascot Race Park in Gardena, CA years ago.

He said hello and then told the crowd that he knew they were there to see him crash.

I didn’t get that vibe at all. It was just part of the act to get everyone wound up.

After the fourth warm up run towards the Ramp, you just wanted him to get it over with.

He did some wheelies, then raced up to the end of the Ramp and backed the Bike back down S-L-O-W-L-Y. He milked it for it was worth.

He didn’t crash, but by the time he ended with the warm up act, some people started to wish he would. LOL
