This is the heart-stopping moment an acrobat falls off a trapeze and crashes to the ground while entertaining groups of children.
The Russian performer was filmed swinging through the air on pink silk when she lost her footing and slipped.
Yana, 19, plummeted to the ground at around 15ft, with no safety net or harness during the accident, in Novokuznetsk.
She then lay motionless on the ground as circus staff rushed to her aid and the audience, who had been enjoying the circus show, watched on in horror.
