Acrobat who was injured during a rehearsal at the Moscow circus was discharged from the hospital

An aerialist who fell from a six-meter height in the Great Moscow State Circus on Vernadsky Avenue has been discharged from the hospital. This was announced on July 14 by the director of the circus, People's Artist of Russia Edgard Zapashny.

"An artist from Ethiopia has been discharged from the hospital," he wrote on his Telegram channel.

The day before, Zapashny reported that the acrobat was injured due to an error by a specialist train driver who provides backup for the performers during the performance of the numbers. He missed the right moment and did not insure the athlete, which caused him to be injured.

On July 13, a source from Izvestia reported that an aerialist fell from a six-meter height at the Bolshoi Moscow Circus. The victim was diagnosed with a brain contusion and a compression fracture of the spine.
