Cause of Acrobat's fall during circus is clarified.
I wanted to let you know that I read "Under the Big Top"
in the January 2006 issue of Best's Review and wanted to provide a
clarification to the opening sentence.
My family and I were at the circus (and very close to the
accident), and the acrobat did not lose her grip, but the entire unit
broke from the ceiling, causing her to fall. I just wanted to clarify,
as this wasn't an acrobat error, but an equipment failure.
(However, the message of the article [increasing risks] was correct.)
