Trapeze artist lands on fat spectator

A Chilean trapeze artist survived a dramatic plunge after he landed on a fat spectator who broke his fall.

Mauricio Alberto Yovanovich, 27, was performing without a safety net and fell when he missed his partner's outstretched arms.

Yovanovich landed on Georgina del Carmen Riffo, 51, who was sitting in the front row of the big top show.

The spectator was a lot larger than the slightly built trapeze artist and broke his fall.

Yovanovich was taken to hospital in San Vicente with injuries to his lower body. He was later discharged and sent home to rest. The unlucky spectator only received minor bruising.

Newspaper La Cuarta reports that police are now investigating the Invincible Eagles circus. They want to know why the artists were performing without a safety net.
