This is the dramatic moment a balloon acrobat crashed into a pond during a show in China.

Footage shows the performer, dressed in a flowing hanfu dress, gracefully moving through the air during the Fuyao Flying Sky performance at the Wuzhen Scenic Area in Zhejiang Province.

Other actors can be seen performing on the ground while the audience watches intently on October 19.

Three men were controlling the ropes of the white balloon to keep the woman from being blown away, but a strong gust of wind pushed her towards the water.

The quick-thinking support crew rushed to pull the helpless acrobat to safety, with one of them even being dragged by the wind.

Her dress dipped into the water, but the team quickly pulled her up, prompting other performers to rush in and carry her to the edge of the pond.

The actress did not sustain any injuries in the incident.
