Trapeze Artist

I don't know about many of you, but I have never been to a circus. I think it would be a lot of fun, especially to watch the trapeze artists! Even though it would be neat to see, I think that it would also be very nerve racking watching them, because it seems to be a very dangerous thing to do. Sadly, a Texas Circus Trapeze artist died yesterday after falling 40 feet during one of his shows. The authorities there tried to help him, but he died at the scene. He was not using a net which made it much more dangerous. Hopefully other trapeze artists take all safety precautions when doing shows so this terrible situation doesn't happen again.
