How about bit, pecked, headbutted, divebombed, clawed, flew into, you know something informative
To be more accurate, the bird flew into a camera rigged on the front of the coaster intended to capture Fabio's reaction during the ride. None of that footage was used because that camera didn't survive the impact with the bird, and pieces of it are what hit Fabio's nose. At that time cameras weren't able to wirelessly transmit digital video. So anything it recorded was lost.
So, sliced might be the best word to describe the interaction.
The swan sliced him? I like nuked better.
Tell you what, here is a compromise; the Swan OBLITERATED the camera, and the camera fragment sliced Fabio. Could also say the camera DEVASTATED the Swan.
Though also, to be more accurate, no swan was involved. It was a goose.
It was only important to the point this person was trying to stretch over the incident that the bird be a swan, as it metaphorically related better that way.
