Moving X-ray Fluoroscope of Sword Swallower Swallowing Wavy Serpentine Sword

Want to know where the sword REALLY goes inside a sword swallower?

This moving x-ray fluoroscope of sword swallower Dan Meyer swallowing a wavy serpentine sword should convince skeptics that sword swallowing really is REAL!

Watch as the blade nudges past his heart, slides down the esophagus, and into his stomach!

Dan was honored to receive the 2007 Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine at Harvard for co-authoring the article "Sword Swallowing and it's side effects" published in the December 2006 BMJ British Medical Journal, and now speaks and entertains at science medical events, festivals, museums, and corporate functions around the world.

Explanation why the sword is wavy?

[CapnCutless]

@ZeTaCk1 There are a few wavy "serpentine" swords - the German Flamberge and the Malaysian Kriss swords are the most common. I suspect they were made this way to cause more damage when cutting into an enemy, more like a sawblade effect.

@CapnCutless

I always thought you would swallow swords that were straight

But now That I read the title again it says Wavy Serptentine

I guess I should read titles before commenting xD

[CapnCutless]

@ZeTaCk1 The serpentine sword and the curved sword are the hardest ones for me to swallow - The serpentine is hard because the distance is much wider from one edge to the blade to the other than just a simple straight sword, and the curved sword is hard because I have to turn my body sideways (see America's Got Talent Vegas semi-finals episode and the curved sword x-ray).
