Is There Any News On Jackie Armstrong, Yet?

I felt sick when l read about this young Winter Wonderland acrobat Jackie Armstrong, who has a one year old child.
Yesterday, she fell 30 ft during her performance at the circus at London’s Hyde Park. Apparently, her foot slipped out of the harness and she fell to the ground. There was no safety net.

Reading it, made me feel really sick. You wonder why they take such risks but l suppose they have trained for years and love their job.

I keep looking for any reports about her condition but there doesn’t seem to be any.

Susan, l keep thinking of her.
Falling from that height.. is just awful. Awful too, for those in the audience that witnessed it. The circus, offered them tickets for the later show!

Thank You, for adding that Mags.
I’m not sure why nothing is being said about her condition. Maybe, it’s because she and her family want privacy. Or maybe, it’s being investigated by Health and Safety, as to why it happened?
