THE HAGUE, January 4.
/TASS/. Two acrobats from Russia fell from the height of 10 meters during the
World Christmas Circus show in Amsterdam, the Dutch news agency ANP reported.
A man and a woman
fell at the same time from the height of about ten meters and the man dropped
on the woman at the same time. "This entails a couple from Russia
performing the act known as ‘Sky Angels," producer Henk van der Meijden
said. "They are known by performing without the safety net," he
added.
Acrobats were
immediately hospitalized and both performers were conscious when admitted in
the hospital, the producer added. Doctors consider that injuries of one of the
acrobats are serious.
The performance was
canceled immediately after the incident. Shows on Saturday and Sunday will
proceed as planned, van der Meijden said.
