Knife-thrower hits assistant on live TV

[mrs fish]

Viewers were shocked when a knife-throwing stunt went wrong on live TV.Circus performer Jayde Hanson - who set a world knife-throwing record only days ago - left his assistant with a gashed scalp after a blade hit her.


Hanson, 23, was demonstrating his skills on Yana Rodianova, his girlfriend, during This Morning on ITV1, throwing as many knives in a minute as he could without hitting her.

But with just nine seconds to go she was hurt as the blade caught the top of her head.

Three seconds before his time ran out, Hanson - who managed 67 knives - stopped the stunt, and his assistant put her hand to her head, clasping the spot where she was caught.

He then rushed over to check how she was.

This Morning presenters Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield rushed over to check and she said: "Oh my God, there's blood."

Rodianova was led off the show still holding the left side of her head during a commercial break. The pair are with the Cottle And Austin Electric Circus

A spokeswoman for the programme said: "She's fine - it was just a nick to the head. Health And Safety are standing by.

"A nurse tended to her and she was fine.

Probably to suggest that it was dangerous to throw knive and perhaps they should use sponge balls instead no doubt...

[nicholasblair]

I do hope all the risk assesment sheets were filled in.

News just in from the Industrial Accident Tribunal:

A preliminary report has made a strong recommendation regarding working practices: throwing knives at people may cause injury. This should be avoided in the workplace.

Call those knives, we had more dangerous rulers when I were a child....

Sounds like another candidate for a Darwin Award

What sort of revealing costume would this entail... a velcro thong perhaps???
