An aerial hoop artist was injured during a performance by Cirque du Soleil in Portland, Oregon on Saturday night, with footage of the terrifying moment going viral.
The performer was seen hanging on a hoop suspended from the ceiling as it spun in circles before she fell mid-act. The audience could be heard gasping after she fell onto the ground, but for a moment everyone seemed to wonder if it was all part of the act and just stared.
Fortunately, the lady was not that high before the fall and is “recovering and being cared for by our medical and coaching team,” the KOOZA performing group said in a statement, adding that they “appreciate your concern and well wishes for our aerial hoop artist.”
The artist has not been named but managed to give the audience a thumbs-up before being taken off-stage for medical treatment.
