ALL British people will tell you that about swans

I guess it must've happened one time?

I remember Terry Wogan discussing this on his Radio 2 breakfast show c. 2003.

Gist of it was: does anyone *actually* know someone whose arm has been broken by a swan? Unscientific and anecdotal, but basically: no, it's never happened.

According to this article from 2012

their limb breaking power is a myth.

They'll just drown you instead.

My arm was broken by a swan - not just once, not twice, not even three times
