Brazilian Acrobat Tarzán Suffers Brutal Fall During Circus Show

A Brazilian acrobat suffered a brutal fall from a height while performing at a circus in the province of San Luis, Argentina. The incident occurred on Monday evening during the show 'Jurassic Gueorgue – The Age of Dinosaurs'. The acrobat, known as Tarzán, was suspended from a fabric five meters in the air. While performing aerial spins, one of his hands slipped, and he fell to the unprotected ground. As a result of the fall, João Inácio da Silva suffered multiple fractures and was urgently taken to the Ramón Carrillo Central Hospital, where he underwent surgery. Doctors reported that 'Tarzán' is out of danger. After hours of uncertainty, da Silva spoke for the first time since his fall: 'I'm in the hospital, I don't have a diagnosis to give you yet, but to all the people who wrote to me or asked about me, thank you. I love you all'. At the end of the video, the artist stated that it was not an act of carelessness: 'What happened to me was not negligence, my hand just slipped'.
