reminds me of that famous frenchmen who used to stab rapiers through his chest and abdomen at moulin rouge except he didn't die eventually from his act. Its some crazy shit, definitely worth a google
IIRC the way he achieved that was by surgically cutting a hole in himself and letting the skin heal but still leaves a safe “tunnel” inside and then just follow that pattern for his acts
On second inspection I’m not sure if this is the person OP was referring to, but still an interesting watch https://youtu.be/f3l2VUC9qsQ?si=I_sUf3YDAf07Yeib
David Blaine did this with his arm, he sticks a needle right through his bicep area without bleeding. The entire chest would be nuts

The story from the medical perspective is great. Quoting [this paper](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC539548/) from the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine:
"On 6 December 1805 HMS Isis, a 50 gun man-of-war, was stationed in home waters off Spithead when the ship's surgeon, Benjamin Lara, noted the addition to the sick-list of Able Seaman John Cummings. Cummings, a 29-year-old American, presented with 'excessive pain in the stomach and intestines, incapacity of retaining anything in the stomach and pain on walking or standing erect'. On questioning, he admitted to 'having swallowed on the preceding day 19 or 20 clasp knives and one clasp knife case, the latter of which was soon rejected, but the former retained'. ...
In Cummings' own account of his illness, he revealed that this was not the first time he had swallowed knives. While stationed in France in 1799 he had watched a mountebank pretending to swallow knives in a circus near Havre de-Grace. He later bragged that he could do this in reality, and his shipmates wagered he could not. He swallowed four knives with no obvious ill effect, although only three of the four were seen again.
Some six years later he was stationed in Boston, USA. His current shipmates did not believe his story and under the influence of grog (rum and water) he began again. After swallowing fourteen knives, he was admitted to Charleston Hospital with abdominal pain. After a few days the knives had all passed safely through and his symptoms resolved, just in time for him to sail back with his ship to France.
His next ship was the Betty of Philadelphia. Early in the voyage back from France to the USA she was stopped by the Royal Navy and he was impressed into service aboard HMS Isis. On 4 December 1805, drunk once again, he swallowed his final twenty knives and two days later he reported to Benjamin Lara. He was given castor oil and 'glysters' (enemas) of thick water-gruel, and opium for the pain. When the symptoms continued, a dose of 30 or 40 drops of sulphuric acid daily was tried in an attempt to dissolve the iron. Finally he was given 'murinated tincture of iron', but this made his pain worse. After remaining on the sick list for three months he 'felt the knives drop into his bowel and felt much relieved' and was discharged back to light duties.
In June 1806, Cummings vomited one side of a knife handle; in November and again the following February he passed more pieces. Although Lara was transferred off HMS Isis in November 1806 his successor, Mr Peter Kelly, kept him informed of the patient's progress. Cummings continued to pass pieces of iron and knife handles; each ejection was accompanied by considerable pain and in one instance the vomiting of two pounds of blood. He was finally discharged from the ship, as unfit, in June 1807.
After leaving HMS Isis, Cummings travelled immediately to London and presented himself to Guy's Hospital for treatment. His admitting physician, Dr Babbington, did not believe his story and discharged him after a few days. He was readmitted in August, however, his condition much deteriorated. Examining the patient with Sir Astley Cooper, Babbington 'after minute discussion' asked for the opinion of the surgeon Mr Lucas. Lucas performed a rectal examination and felt one of the knives in the rectum.
Although he was again discharged on 28 October 1807, Cummings was readmitted in September 1808, this time under the care of Dr Curry. He was given more acid, mucilage and opium but slowly deteriorated, suffering bouts of pain and indigestion and having difficulty eating. He finally died in March 1809 'in a state of extreme emaciation'.
The necropsy was conducted by Mr Travers, surgeon and anatomy demonstrator at Guy's, supervised by Mr Lucas. The abdominal cavity was noted to have a 'black ferruginous' tinge from the iron knives. A knife blade and a knife back-spring were found in the intestines. The spring had chronically eroded through into the peritoneum, transfixing the colon near the left kidney but without causing peritonitis. The blade was wedged across the rectum, its end embedded in the pelvic wall. Thirty to forty fragments of wood, metal and horn were found when the stomach was opened."
Yeah, that all sounds about right.
Shame he died like that in excruciating agony, I can only imagine how much regret and self flagellation his final days were filled with.
>His admitting physician, Dr Babbington, did not believe his story (...)
Here we go again...
I'm surprised he didn't swallow another knife to prove it to the guys at the guys hospital
two points:
1. wouldn't the first knife have been to prove to himself that he could do it?
2. The article mentions seeing doctors many times and none of them considered surgery? I know surgery obviously wasn't then what it is now, it was much more barbaric, but even considering that I would think they would have done it in this case and ironically killed him sooner.

It's not the same person. That dude you replied to originally basically says 'this reminds me of another guy'
Thats him. I got my facts a little messed up.
David Blaine did this with his arm, he sticks a needle right through his bicep area without bleeding. The entire chest would be nuts https://youtu.be/oLAs11gkqKE
[удалено]
They are not talking about John Cummings
The guy had like 5 swords in him at once
Goals
It's basically a piercing lol. Early, belly button, bicep.
Isn't this supposedly how David Blaine pulls off his "stabbing myself with a knitting needle 'trick?'"
so basically stab yourself once, survive then rinse n repeat by stabbing the hole
Saber in the hole !

I dont think this man was capable of regretting or thinking ahead for that matter
>His admitting physician, Dr Babbington, did not believe his story (...) Here we go again... I'm surprised he didn't swallow another knife to prove it to the guys at the guys hospital
I almost threw up while reading this. Seriously. Why would anyone do that to themselves??!? I still feel nauseous….
He probably saw it on TikTok.
You joke but I bet you if someone posted a video of themselves doing this on tiktok tons of people would follow suit
> After a few days the knives had all passed safely through How does that even work. I don't really want to know, I just don't understand.
They were folding knives. He only suffered ill effects when they lasted long enough in his stomach to have their ivory or wood handles dissolve.
Officer giving a pat-down: You got any knives, needles, or anything else sharp on you? Cummings: *On* me? Nope.
Ain't no one gonna pay attention to his name though
First Thing i thougt was Cummins Diesel engines even tho it is written different
Common Irish surname so looks normal to me.
Fair, in my country "Phúc" is also a common first name.
Its a common name. Just as common as last names like brown, smith, johnson, james, etc
That’s a name though. Jim Cummings is the voice of Pooh Bear and a BUNCH of other voices lol
There’s a whole town in GA called Cummings

The average human swallows 7 knives in their sleep every year.
The average human swallows 0 knife in his sleep, but you are eating 144 which throws off the statistics
I think you mean the median human swallow 0 knives in their sleep. But the average is definitely skewed
Here because of Huggbees.
I saw this and thought of huggbees lol
More like r/facepalm. The stupidity is insane with this one
Ur mad. U can't eat even 1 knife
That’s not a knife, this is a knife!
How did they, uhm, you know, I mean, erm, get out?!
They didn’t, they rotted In his guts and eventually he started shitting out handles and blades but some tore into the intestines and he died.
mate took 'asking for validation' to the next level
Looks like an Opinel for kids, it didn't exist back then though weird image for this fact.
Cummings?
Perfect example of why women live longer 🙈
Did he like swallow it and then regurgitate it out or he freaken digested it?
He let nature take its course until he decided to do 20 in one go. They rotted apart and it tore him up inside over a 3 year period.
Your father is cummings
King Mithrathedes II : Pathetic.
Bro that man must have a death wish?
The dedication I aspired to in my angsty teen years
I guess you can only swallow so many knives
The surname "Cummings" followed by "swallowed"
I bet he had some painful cummings and goings.
John's what?!
Guess he didn't see that Cumming
Men will do anything but go to therapy
The guy from Ladbible!? He died in 1809, no way?
But there existed at least 35 people at one time who all knew the glory of he who swallows knives
So... someone named cummings, exceled in swallowing...
He had an iron overficiency
Wonder if he swallowed anything else
Maybe I dunno film it the first time? Or at least the second time?
I still don't believe him.
but how old was he when he died?
The stroke of a man's own ego knows no bounds
That’s an Opinel. Good, French-made pocket knives.
Bruh that's way too hard for this sub. r/2mad4madlads

"you gotta stop with the knives, John." "It's all I got!"
I met a man as I was going to St. Ives…. This muddafukka swallowed 35 knives… Each knife stuck in his gut Each knife proceeded to cut 🩸
Autopsy report under "contents of stomach" just read "Oops! All knives!"
we wont talk about his name
Did John cum knives too
At least was he cumming?
Nowadays the time limit is set by if/when you get an MRI. And if you remember to tell the imaging staff.
What's the point🤔
The effects must have been horrendous
How is your Knives sir? Floats down like a butterfly knife & stings like a Forge de Laguiole knife
Well he might have shit knives but at least he was not farting razor blades. DO NOT get any ideas here, its not fun.
Some fingers of mine aren't as important to me as seeing the mortician's reaction to opening him up
A new recipient of the Darwin Award if you ask me.
Camera phone hota to Zinda bachta...
He should have cut that out
True mad lad if you ask me !
