Circus performer, Yana, fell from aerial silks with no harness or net to catch herThis is the heart-stopping moment an aerial acrobat suddenly fell to the ground during an daring circus act. The performer was entertaining a big top full of children in Novokuznetsk, Russia when she slipped from lengths of aerial silk. Yana, 19, crashed to the ring from a height of around 15 ft with no safety net or harness to catch her. The performer wanted to return after the accident at an all-Russia circus festival. But the high-rise star from Krasnoyarsk was told to 'take a long rest and fully recover', said local circus official Pavel Armyaninov.
