On Saturday evening, news came that a spectator had suffered serious, life-threatening injuries during the performance of circus host Florián Richter in Sopron, and was taken to hospital by helicopter ambulance.
A kisalföld.huA witness recalled how the accident happened:
During the performance, one of the artists made a sickle, but the airman standing in front of him could not catch it, so he fell into the net. After the net was not tied properly, the stake came loose and crashed full force into the crowd, hitting one of the spectators.
Unfortunately, the middle-aged man suffered so badly that an ambulance helicopter transported him to the hospital. According to our newspaper, the injured person is not out of danger and is currently on a ventilator.
According to another witness, after the accident, the show was stopped, but not the production. – In short, they gathered the props for the episode and started the next one…
We were not told the severity of the accident. – I went out with my little daughter before the end, because the poor thing was very afraid of what happened. When we went out, the ambulance was there, we saw that they were waiting for the rescue helicopter. I didn’t watch, but I tried to leave the scene as soon as I could with my little girl. He said that they have been going to the circus for years, and according to his experiences, nothing has changed in the last few years, there are more dangerous things, so no they like to go, but the kids love it.
It has since become clear: the police ordered to investigate the accident in the Richter circus. The procedure was initiated by the Sopron Police Department due to a careless risk during work.
