A tense video captured the moment when an acrobat fell from 6 meters during a performance at a circus in Brazil.
The incident occurred last Sunday (27) in the city of Russas, in the state of Ceará. The footage, taken by an audience member, shows the acrobat performing on aerial silks.
However, he ends up falling headfirst from a height of 6 meters while still holding onto the fabric. In the clip, it is clear that the cable supporting the acrobat broke.
The artist was severely injured. In a statement, the circus said that he was rescued and taken to the hospital, where he is receiving medical care. “Fortunately, his condition is stable,” said the Circo Porto Rico in a portion of the statement.
“At this moment, we prioritize responsibility and respect for the artist and his family, avoiding speculation and conflicting information. We reaffirm our commitment to the safety of all our professionals and to transparency with our audience.”
