US acrobats injured in fall at Rhode Island circus act

PROVIDENCE: - The acrobats described as 'hairialists' fell after the scaffolding structure holding them collapsed.

Eleven people have been injured, one critically, after a group of female acrobats fell from an aerial platform at a circus in the US state of Rhode Island.

The eight acrobats plummeted about 10m (32ft) after the scaffolding structure holding them collapsed.

A circus spokesman said the performers were in the middle of a hair-hanging and motorbike high-wire act.

Officials say they have launched an investigation into the accident.

The accident occurred on Sunday morning during the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus show in Providence. A dancer on the ground was among those hurt.

Gravity is such a downer.

I hope the injured make a speedy recovery.

    You are completely free to not post if the story is of no interest to you.

    The topic seems quite relevant since many of the political threads are filled with news about clowns from all over the world, why not have a few acrobats to complete the circus?

    Now, back to the topic please.
