The heart-stopping moment when a circus acrobat falls from an aerial hoop and lands on the ice rink beneath her with a thud has been captured on camera.
Circus goers could be heard gasping as the female acrobat landed awkwardly after losing her grip on the ring and plummeting more than 16 feet at an event in Tampico, Mexico on January 10.
Footage shows how she performed acrobatics on the hoop as it spun around in a circle in the air to a tune from the film 'Frozen'.
