Texsox Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 (CNN) -- A circus perfomer working without a net died Saturday after falling about 35 feet during a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus show, while hundreds of children and parents watched in horror. A statement from Ringling Brothers said Dessi Espana, 32, was pronounced dead seven hours after the fall at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. The rest, of the story How sad, and in front of all those kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoFan Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 The saddest part is that it wasn't even her fault....Owen Michaels had a similar accident, no? I always been in awe of stuntmen, wiremen, climbers and top-flight acrobats. The discipline and talent one must have, the hard work - you can't fake your way through it. Barry Bonds makes a mistake and he pops the ball up - these guys make a mistake and they die or are badly paralyzed. Just looking at that picture, face brimming with life...
