A circus performer suffered a broken leg after plunging onto CONCRETE mid-show.
Footage shows the artist sitting on an aerial hoop several metres above the ground.
She executes a move that leaves her hanging upside down by her legs.
Seconds later, as she changes position to hang from the bottom of the ring by her hands, she suddenly plummets.

Gasps of shock can be heard from the audience as she hits the hard ground with a thud.
Spectators continue looking on as she lies on her back while others rush to her aid.
The nasty accident happened during the Goddess Scattering Flowers Lantern Show at Lingnan Impression Park in Guangzhou, China, on Saturday (26 September).
The show is an aerial and light performance inspired by traditional Chinese mythology and classical poetry.
The performer was attached to the ring with a safety wire, as reported by Need To Know.
However, the wire apparently snapped as she fell, causing her to hit the ground.
The injured woman was taken to hospital for treatment.
Local authorities confirmed yesterday morning (27 September) that she had suffered a fractured lower leg.
However, her vital signs were stable and she was not in life-threatening condition.
She has since reassured the public that she is safe.
Following the accident, the park suspended the aerial part of the show, while other performances continued as normal.
Social media users questioned why there was no protective crash mat underneath the performer at the time.
