An act on America's Got Talent turned into disaster when one contestant had a flaming arrow fired into his neck.
Canadian stunt man Ryan Stock was ready to impress the audience and judges as he fed a pole with a bullseye attached down his throat Tuesday night.
His raven-haired performance partner and fiancée Amberlynn Walker, then prepared the arrow - which had been set alight and fired. Unfortunately for Stock, his partner's aim was less than perfect and instead of hitting the bulls eye, it hit his throat.
As a chintzy soundtrack played in the background, Stock grappled with his neck and tried to bat away the fiery needle.
‘You’re not on fire,’ host Nick Cannon said, breaking the shocked silence, before Ryan, still rubbing the red mark near his throat, insisted: ‘I’m OK, I’m OK.’
‘It just caught my shirt. She missed it,’ he added, clearly in shock.
‘No no no no no you’re not OK,’ Howie insisted. ‘Listen, um - I don’t think you are.’
Pointing out he was clearly ‘in pain,’ he insisted he needed to go straight to an EMT, failing to hide his frustration when Ryan tried to brush it off and deny needing help.
Simon was even more blunt when he interrupted Heidi and asked: ‘Why are we judging this act?
‘Amber just shot Ryan and he needs to go to a hospital now! I’m being serious.’
As they cut for an ad break, Nick pointed out it was ‘live television and anything can happen,’ clarifying later that the daredevil had been checked out ‘and appears to be OK so we are happy about that.’
