Circus Acrobats Injured After Fall to the Ground

Nine circus performers were injured after falling to the ground during a performance of Ringling Bros. Barnum and Baily Circus.

Sunday's accident in Providence, Rhode Island  happened as the performers were dangling like a chandelier and the apparatus broke loose from it's anchor and dropped to the floor, on top of one of the dancers performing below.

The Associated Press reports that none of the injuries to the acrobats were life-threatening.
