Video: Moment of a circus performer's fall in Libya
A circus performer suffered a horrific fall from a great height, while performing acrobatic and showmanship movements during a show at the Summer Nights Festival in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
Social media sites in Libya published a video clip documented by the cameras of the attendees, in which the performer appeared performing a show segment with the encouragement of the audience, before suddenly falling from a height of more than 5 meters.
The footage showed how the performer fell on her back after she lost her balance and let go of her hand from the hoop she was holding, to fly in the air and hit the ground in an embarrassing manner, amidst screams of panic from the spectators.
The extent of her injury and her health condition are not yet known, as the performer was unable to move and remained unconscious.
On the other hand, activists criticized the absence of safety measures and first aid in this show.
