Contestants Ryan Stock and his fiancee Amber Lynn Walker were at the end of their act when Stock inserted a long narrow object with a bullseye on the end down his throat for Walker to then shoot the flaming arrow toward. But Walker missed her target, instead striking Stock in the neck.

“Is everything OK? Are you OK?” host Nick Cannon asked the contestant. “I’m OK, I’m OK,” Stock replied.
Cannon later told the audience that Stock had been examined by a medical professional and that he did, in fact, “appear to be OK.”
Stock took to Twitter after the incident, calling it a “very unfortunate mechanical failure.”
“I am very fortunate to walk away from it,” he tweeted.
