After the Saturday disaster, the crowd was evacuated.
“Recovering well” is how an official from Blackpool Tower described the acrobat.
The statement stated that the artist, who is receiving treatment for a minor wrist injury, had been practicing a routine under controlled circumstances.
I was in the audience, and an user reported that the man looked like he was “in serious pain”.
“The guy landed directly in front of us and came down with a fair bump,” they reported. Although it didn’t appear that bad, who knows?”
As a precaution, all attendees of the concert were instructed to vacate the venue.
