In China, a gymnastics couple have suffered a tragic fate. Two acrobat performers, allegedly married to each other, were throwing a performance at China's Suzhou City. The female artist fell to the ground while swinging high in a live show on Saturday, leaving the audience in shock.

The woman fell to the stage while performing a mid-air routine. She was taken to hospital but died of her injuries, the district government said in a statement Monday. The artist passed away in the unfortunate incident. An investigation by authorities had ruled the tragedy was an accident.

Social media users are now campaigning that the showrunners should ensure the safety of performers by putting a safety net underneath at least. The firm running the event, Anhui Yaxi Performing Arts Media Company failed to provide essential safety protection and emergency measures during the performance.
