The blade hit several people, apparently setting one man’s hair ablaze.
The fire breather runs over and retrieves his sword before checking everyone is ok.
The bungled stunt took place last week in Fujian, China.
The video has gone viral on X with 290,000 views and dozens of comments, as reported by What’s The Jam.
One local said: “I’m dying of laughter.”

Another wrote: “Technically it’s not a mistake by the performer, it’s a failure to properly forge the blade.”
“The sword must be Made in China,” joked someone else.
