It is understood that the incident location of the above video is located in Majing Town, Shifang City, Sichuan Province. On the morning of the 23rd, Jimu News reporters tried to contact the publisher of the above video, but failed.
reporters contacted the circus involved. The operator said that it had recently performed in Maying Town, but refused to comment on whether the performers were injured or the extent of their injuries.
Maying Town government staff said that the injured people have been sent to the hospital, and the incident is still being understood further.
A staff member of the Shifang City Culture, Sports, Broadcasting and Tourism Bureau said that the incident had been taken care of and "the injury was not serious."
Mr. Zhang, who has many years of experience in silk hanging performances, told Jimu News that the silk hanging performance is a project that requires the tacit cooperation of many people. On the surface, what the audience sees is one or two actors performing on the stage. The lifting and lowering of the ribbon makes various movements. In fact, the lifting and lowering of the silk crane is completely manually controlled by the staff in the background. "I don't know what happened in the past two years. There have been several accidents with the silk hanging performers." Mr. Zhang said that if the performers on the stage did not grasp the ribbon tightly or the steel wire connecting the ribbon to the motor above was broken, , or improper operation by the staff operating the motor, may cause the actor to fall from a high altitude.
