On June 1, a shocking accident occurred during a circus performance at Mingfa Riverside Square in Nanjing, southern China, when a performer was unexpectedly thrown from the stage, causing gasps among the audience.

The circus, temporarily set up at the square, was hosting a special show that day, coinciding with Children's Day and a weekend, drawing a large crowd of spectators. However, the excitement turned to horror when the mishap took place.

Witnesses reported that the incident involved three performers executing a high-risk act. During a climactic moment, one of the performers lost their grip on the equipment, causing them to be violently flung into the air. The performer spun mid-air and landed heavily on the ground.

Immediately after the accident, the audience reacted with audible shock, and the circus crew rushed to the stage to provide aid. The injured performer was swiftly moved backstage for medical attention.

Although the performer survived the fall and is not in life-threatening condition, the extent of their injuries has not yet been fully disclosed.
