Hair-raising knife throwing performance nearly ends in death on live TV

https://youtu.be/22_q38c9-7U

Digg's highlights: "1:17 — slightly cuts a finger, 1:30 — almost hits another one, 3:15 — 1-2cm from death, 4:45 — trying to clean blood with shoe."

Maybe the knife-thrower always does it this way to make the performance more thrilling?
