Dayum! First fatality.

My prayers go out to the performers family.

Very sad.

I really wish we'd stop paying money to see people risk their lives.

I hear you, but people pay money because it's beautiful, not because it's dangerous. And accidents can happen anywhere. I injured my back putting on pants

I just think it's unnecessary risk.

...not the pants, I mean.

I agree, I hate the circuses that have animals. That is why I like Cirque; it's people who actually have chosen to be in the circus

Dupe

These people are well trained. There are hundreds of these performances each year. An accident like this, is a rarity. Driving a racing car is more risky.

Very true

i'm sorry about the fallen artist. but i still think pants can be dangerous if you're not careful
