Of the 110 swallowers queried, 46 responded and agreed to have their results reported. Collectively, the respondents had swallowed about 2,000 swords in the past three months:

    * 25 had swallowed more than one sword at a time.
    * Five had swallowed at least 10 at a time.
    * One person had downed 16 swords at once.

The most common medical complaint: a sore throat, or “sword throat” as it's known in the business.
Some experienced lower chest pains, often lasting for days, which could be relieved by not swallowing any swords for a few days.
Sixteen mentioned intestinal bleeding and one was told a sword had “brushed” his heart.
Three had to have surgeries to their necks: One swallower lacerated his pharynx while trying to swallow a curved saber; another slashed his esophagus, the muscular tube linking the mouth and stomach, after being distracted by a misbehaving macaw on his shoulder; and a belly dancing sword swallower suffered a major hemorrhage when a bystander shoved dollar bills into her belt, causing three blades in her esophagus to “scissor.”

The study also revealed how swallowers learned their craft. Often practicing daily for months or years, many desensitized their gag reflexes by gradually increasing the size of objects they shoved down their throats, beginning with their finger, then spoons, paint brushes and knitting needles before moving on to the commonly used bent wire coat hanger.

Tricks used to coax a blade down the throat varied: Many performers lubricated their swords first with saliva; one performer used butter and another had to retire because of a dry mouth condition. Some performed “the drop,” in which the sword falls abruptly down the throat; some invited audience members to move the sword.

The researchers concluded that “although the risk of sustaining life threatening injury is low for an experienced swallower while relaxed and concentrating on swallowing a single sword, the risk over a career is high.”
