Acrobats hurt in circus accident reach $69 million settlement
Eight acrobats severely injured when the rigging suspending them by their hair plummeted to the floor during a circus performance in Rhode Island in 2014 have reached a US$52.5 million (A$69 million) settlement with the ownership and management of the arena where the circus was held.
âIt s a great result, it s the right result and it s a just result, Zachary Mandell, an attorney for the eight women, said of the settlement, first reported by
The Providence Journal.
A metal clip that held the acrobats six metres above the floor of the Dunkin Donuts Centre snapped during the May 2014 performance, causing the women to suffer broken bones and spinal injuries. A ninth worker on the ground was also hurt.
