Chinese acrobat, Sun Moumou, falls to her death after display goes wrong as her husband loses grip on her during performance
A Chinese acrobat fell to her death during a performance with her husband in Suzhou, China.
Sun Moumou, 37, fell onto a hard stage during a flying-trapeze show performed with her acrobatic partner who is also her husband.
Disturbing video footage believed to have been taken from the crowd watching the performance showed Sun falling.
Local reports said Sun fell from a terrifying height of over 30 feet.
We were always happy together,” her devastated husband Zhang Moumou said. “As I am in the middle of the process of dealing with all of this, I can’t disclose any specific details at this time.”
The late acrobat leaves behind two children, a son and a daughter, after the tragic incident.
The husband and wife were experienced performers that had worked together for many years, but didn’t use vital safety belts “for the sake of looking good”.
