Sword swallowing world record as Australian swallows 18 swords

Chayne Hultgren – also known as ‘The Space Cowboy’ – beat the record he himself had set in 2008, at an event in Sydney.

Each of the swords was 72 cm – nearly 2 1/2 feet long.

The 31-year-old Hultgren stated he been practising with swords since he was 16, and had used different methods to perfect his technique – including stretching his throat with hoses.

‘I waited a few years until I’d got it perfect and then I moved on to using stainless steel blades,’ he said.

Hultgren stated that while the stunt was not dangerous, he spent many hours training for it.

‘It’s astonishing – I’m really happy. It’s definitely one of my greatest achievements so far,’ he commented after setting the record.
