A member of 'Cirque du Soleil', which was also popular in Korea, crashed during the performance.

According to foreign media such as Daily Star and Fox News, Maria Confectova (23), an aerial acrobat from Russia, fell several meters high at the Cirque du Soleil show `Kooza' held at the Portland Fairgrounds in Oregon on the 24th (local time).

There was no fall-proof safety net underneath at the time.



She missed her hand and fell to the floor while performing tricks on a round hula hoop hanging in the air at the time.

The audience initially thought that her fall was part of the performance.



However, he immediately noticed that it was an accident as officials rushed to check her condition.

Confectova rose to her feet on the sidelines, but her facial injuries appeared to be severe, including a nosebleed. However, as she left the stage, she gave a thumbs-up and announced that she was safe.



A performance official said she was recovering at the hospital, and Confectova posted on her social media, `Thank you for the comfort of the fans and I'm fine.'
