Cirque du Soleil acrobat injured in fall at Montreal's Bell Centre

jeudi 1 décembre 2016

A 27-year-old man suffered minor back injuries when he fell while performing as part of the Cirque du Soleil's OVO show last night at the Bell Centre.

According to Urgences-Santé, around 9:30 p.m. the acrobat fell about five metres from a trampoline. His life is not in danger.

This is the third work-related accident this week for the Montreal-based Cirque du Soleil.

Olivier Rochette, a 42-year-old technician with the Luzia show, died Tuesday in San Francisco after being hit in the head during a rehearsal.

He is the son of Cirque co-founder Gilles Ste-Croix.

And acrobat Lisa Skinner fractured a vertebra when she fell three metres while performing as part of the Kooza show in Brisbane, Australia on Sunday.
