(Beijing, 18th) An acrobat from the Northeast Tiger Park in Jilin Province, China, fell from a height while performing a tightrope walk on Sunday, and his life is in danger. According to Mr. Wang, a spectator at the scene, several employees ran over after the incident, but did not rescue him immediately, and the ambulance arrived 30 minutes later.

Sohu News reported that after the incident, a staff member of the Siberian Tiger Park said that the actor who fell to the ground was receiving treatment in the ICU. Two of the three actors who participated in the performance secretly replaced the safety rope with a thin rope they tied themselves because they thought the safety rope was too thick and would affect the performance. The last actor accidentally fell to the ground during the performance and the rope was not pulled strong enough to break.

The video circulating online shows that the acrobat was walking on a wire about 10 meters high, and he fell from a height due to an unstable center of gravity. The video shows that the acrobat was once pulled by a safety rope, but unfortunately he still fell to the ground, and there was no movement from the acrobat on the ground.
