Twenty-year-old FMX rider Josh Headford has miraculously survived a near seven metre drop after being clotheslined mid-flight by a guy-wire inside a circus tent.
Headford was only a temporary addition to the circus show but had successfully landed the jump earlier in the week.
The impact of the fall resulted in a broken femur, fractured shoulder blade, and injuries to Headford's wrist and elbow.
Headford's manager Scott Murray told ESPN he was relieved that his client escaped without any long-lasting injuries.
"Thankfully there's not been any more serious complications, considering the violent nature of the crash." Murray said.
"After looking at the clip I know we're lucky this wasn't much, much worse."
Headford wasn't the only casualty of the night however, a clown on the ground was hurt when a cable hit him in the face.

why have something like this in a circus tent.it obviously needs to be outside.the whole idea is dangerous for it to be indoors like that
ReplyThe most interesting thing about that clip is the guy to the left of shot in the audience who appears to have a Light Sabre!!! Cool!!!
Reply"ladies and gentleman, i need a doctor" still in his performing voice. i dunno, it just seems like common sense not to do that sort of performance in such a confined space with such a low roof.
ReplyA little warning about the language would have been appreciated!!! have some professionalism channel seven
ReplyIs anyone a doctor?! I can't believe there were no medics on standby.
