A circus performer who fell 30 feet onto a concrete floor during a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus show died from her injuries. Dessi Espana, 32, was twirling on long chiffon scarves when the silky cloth gave way during Saturday's performance, witnesses said. She died later that night.
Espana was not using a safety harness because of the way she had to move in the performance, and chiffon acts traditionally don't use nets. Clowns came out in what circusgoers described as an attempt to draw attention away from the scene. Circus animal acts have also proved dangerous. Last October, Roy Horn of "Siegfried & Roy," was severely mauled on stage by a tiger, forcing an end to the duo's long-running Las Vegas show.

Have you ever tried having sex on a flying trapeze? Come on, only Eagles manage to pull that off with any regularity!
And that whole being blasted out of a cannon thing, it only works if your orgasm at the exact same time...and that NEVER happens!
Trying to get it on with fifty other clowns all cramed into the same tiny car is simply NOT RIGHT!

Because you might not be able to sustain sex during a sommersault act or while changing trapeze

Is it?
Because you might fall from the trapeze when you orgasm?
