GRAPHIC VIDEO

What stunt was he performing? It looks like the wheel spins downward.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Go figure. They do call it the "Wheel of Death."

 

[Politico]

Darwin does us another solid.

 

[Mr. H.]

We attended a Cirque performance. It was expensive and underwhelming.

 

[Pauli007001]

Was it fatal?

 

[Mr. H.]

Nah just boring.

Creepy video.

But your linked story does not match the title of this thread.

The article said the performer was alive "in stable condition Saturday, and was expected to be released in the next few days."

There was a death in June tho...

Crazy nuts be crazy nuts.

The article said the performer was alive "in stable condition Saturday, and was expected to be released in the next few days."

When he fell, everybody thought he was dead. Therefore, I felt it did his act justice to fashion him as "dying." He wasn't using a net, was he? People that fall from that height in an awkward manner almost always die.

At the time of the news report I posted, nobody knew if he would live or die.

On Tuesday, safety officials announced plans to cite Cirque du Soleil and the MGM after investigators concluded 31-year-old Sarah Guillot-Guyard fell 94 feet to the floor below on June 29 when a wire rope she was suspended from was severed due to her rapid ascent.

Guillot-Guyard was the first Cirque du Soleil performer to die in an onstage accident in the company's 29-year history.

So you knowingly lied about it.

 

[Moonglow]

bait and switch.

 

[Luissa]

Didn't this happen awhile ago?

 

[Luissa]

Didn't someone actually die though, a few months ago?

The post wasn't about that one, it was about this one.

Not really. I said that "he dies," present tense, which has no implications past or present. He probably did die and was revived.

 

[Sherry]

They had no business picking him up and moving him like that.

Cirque du Soleil performer falls in 'Wheel of Death' act

On Tuesday, safety officials announced plans to cite Cirque du Soleil and the MGM after investigators concluded 31-year-old Sarah Guillot-Guyard fell 94 feet to the floor below on June 29 when a wire rope she was suspended from was severed due to her rapid ascent.

Huh?

You posted the US News article in your OP -- not the other one you just quoted there. [Which has another performer dying -- four months earlier, a 'she," and the difference in drop some 74 feet less.]

The article you posted said right in it - he was alive and "in stable condition Saturday, and was expected to be released in the next few days."

" I felt it did his act justice to fashion him as "dying." -- Whay in the hayell?

 

[PixieStix]

I did not watch. I cannot stand to watch the end of someone's life.

Just a personal preference

I don't know why the site allows blatant lies in OP titles. They're unfair to the reader, bad for the rep of the site and almost always a bait and switch of some sort.
