Circus artist in hospital falls during a show in front of a horrified audience

A Colombian tightrope walker was hospitalized after an impressive fall from her tightrope about 5 meters above the ground during a Gravity Circus performance in East Sussex, England. After losing her balance and falling, the chair she was sitting on hit her, sending her into a free fall backwards. The severity of the impact rendered her unconscious. Although the performer's injuries have been described as 'serious', they are not life-threatening, according to the South East Coast Ambulance Service. Gravity Circus reassured fans that the performer was well and in good hands. A rigorous investigation is underway to determine the exact causes of the accident.
