For the first time in many years in the Swiss circus Knie, in the performance of the rooms “the Thirst for flight”, there was a serious incident. Russian Duo consisting of aerialists Malvina Abakarova and Valeria Sycheva, was showing the tricks of high complexity. The gymnast kept the feet over the head of his partner, who was hanging on the rope. At a certain point, the grip failed, and abakarova fell from a height of 4 meters and fell to the arena.

Additional insurance in the room was not used because, according to the actors, it constrains the movement and gives full power to perform gymnastic stunts. So instead of insurance was only used special tapes which are unable to protect Abakarova from falling.

During the incident, the circus was about 1500 people. After the fall of the gymnast, the three visitors needed psychological help. Also, there were many children who also watched the fall. 10 minutes after the incident, the tent was completely liberated from the audience.
