Sulmona circus accident: acrobat falls during aerial performance
An acrobat, approximately 40 years old, fell from a height of about four meters during a performance at the Royal Circus in Sulmona. Initial investigations suggest the fall may have resulted from a miscalculation of distance during her aerial routine.
The performer was wearing an elastic safety cable that partially cushioned the impact. She was transported to the hospital in Sulmona and remains under medical observation; her condition is reported as stable and not life-threatening.
The Carabinieri have opened an investigation into the incident, which has been classified as a workplace accident. Authorities have seized the circus equipment and ropes for technical analysis, and health inspectors from the Asl will verify compliance with workplace safety regulations.
