VIDEO : SEE IT: Ringling Bros. Circus performers crash to ground during aerial act

Ringmaster is speaking in the background as the acrobats lie crumpled on the floor: "Oh shhhhit"

Ringling Bros. are gathering quite the infamous reputation. These poor people can't sue, can they? Damn those air-tight circus contracts. Well for sure Ringling Bros. have lost their best act. This could be the end for their circus.

Oh my god

I feel terrible for the performers

Damn

Were they supposed to fall like that???

Are you kidding me?

She sounded like she should have known better...

"Were they supposed to fall like that?" No bitch!

SHE SOUNDED LIKE SHE WAS ALMOST 15 YEARS OLD

costumes and bad lighting

Very funny video. Thanks for the laugh OP.

YIKES! looks painful, hanging by your hair, and then the rigging breaks away.

Ugh. That's horrible! My first cousin is the Ring Master for Tarzan Zirbini circus and his wife Kim " lightfoot" Zirbini Curtis is a 5th generation arielist from France.
Rick Curtis is super talented in singing, dancing and performing and he and Kim even have all 3 of their kids performing as well. Which is why this gave me the chills because Kim is training their daughter harley to do what she does and harley is only 15.
So scary just how fast something can go very wrong.This is exactly why they drug test these people so much. A lot of people don't realize that.

The show must go on. Will be in Hartford on Thursday this week. Being from Hartford remember being told what happened on July 6, 1944 when 169 people died when a the main tent caught fire in the north end of the city. "The day the clowns cried."

holy shit
