Live fiery crossbow fail almost brought disaster to 'America's Got Talent'
This daredevil duo might require a little more practice before going on live TV.

They chose to impress Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Melanie Brown and Howie Mandel by crossing sword swallowing with a little William Tell action.

The sensitive people at NBC cut the above video right as the accident happens, but eagle-eyed live viewers were ready with their phones to show us the aftermath of what happened.
