“Hairialists” from the US, Brazil, Bulgaria and Ukraine who comprise the Medeiros Troupe acrobats were seriously injured Monday morning, Philippine time, when a platform collapsed during their act. Eight of the female acrobats were meant to hang by their hair in chandelier-like fashion. The metal apparatus from which they were hanging collapsed and 8 of the female acrobats fell 25-40 feet (about 8-12 meters), landing on another performer on the ground, police were quoted as saying. The injured acrobats were rushed to the hospital and were being treated in critical condition. The injuries were described as “non-life threatening.”
