A circus performer was seriously hurt when they fell from a tightrope in front of an audience.
In the next event at the circus, a performer had a serious accident that left her injured. The incident happened when she was performing a high-wire act, 16 feet above ground level. The audience watched in shock as she fell off the tightrope in front of their eyes.

The performer was part of a Colombian troupe and was sitting on the back of a chair, which was being balanced on a pole. Two men were holding the pole as they walked across the tightrope at Gravity Circus in East Sussex. The performer was trying to lower herself into the seat while balancing her feet on the armrests of the chair. However, the pole started to wobble, causing her to lose her balance.

As she dropped onto the seat, her foot slipped, and she fell off the apparatus, along with the chair. It was a terrifying sight to see her hit a wire midway, causing her to do a backflip in the air. She landed on the ground, hitting her knees first, and then spinning until she finally came to a fetal position on the metal floor.

One witness, Hayley Walsh, described the incident to the BBC, saying that it seemed like the performer's balance gave way, and she flew down, wrapped around the wire. She then crashed onto the metal floor, hitting it hard. The South East Coast Ambulance Service reported that the performer had suffered facial and other injuries, but they were not life-threatening.

The circus confirmed on social media that the performer was doing well and in safe hands. They also reassured their fans that their primary concern was the performer's well-being, as well as her family, the high wire troupe, and their entire circus family. They also mentioned that they were closely monitoring the situation and conducting a thorough investigation into the incident.
