Sadly the troupe member suffered a fall during the Wheel Of Death act. They were later taken to hospital by North West Ambulance Service and were reported to have only suffered "minor injuries". Blackpool Tower Circus said the performer was "fully responsive". Paramedics and community first responders rushed to the scene following the incident. The whole staff of the tower management and the other performers were absolutely amazing and completely calm which help the whole outcome of this unfortunate event. The response time from north west ambulance was phenomenal and was there within seconds of my husbands arrival to fully assess and transport patient to hospital. Blackpool Tower Circus performances will continue as planned. The performer is fully responsive and being treated for minor injuries.

The crowd was evacuated after the accident on Saturday. All guests watching the performance were asked to leave the venue as a precautionary measure. Guests watching on Saturday have been provided with complimentary tickets for a future performance. Circus performances at Blackpool Tower will open as usual on Sunday. A review of the act will now take place.

It stands at 518 feet and 9 inches tall. It’s a Grade One Listed Building and on clear days, the tower can be seen from as far away as Wales and the Lake District. There were safety concerns about the tower due to the fact it's built with 2,500 tonnes of iron, five million bricks and is surrounded by buildings. So the tower was designed in a way that if it was ever to fall over it would fall into the sea instead of onto buildings around it.

The crowd watching the Saturday afternoon performance was quickly evacuated from the building following the incident. All people at the show were evacuated safely and calmly. The guy landed right in front of us and came down with a fair bump. He didn’t seem critically ill, but who knows. He was in serious pain. One mother at the show with children praised staff for their amazing response. She went on to wish the performer a speedy recovery. Another person claiming to have been at the show said on social media that the performer lost balance and fell, and was seen rolling around shouting in pain grabbing his shoulder.

Given The Blackpool Tower’s height, the number of surrounding buildings and the fact that it is built with 2,500 tonnes of iron and 5 million bricks, there were concerns about safety if it were to collapse. But, thanks to a unique design and some clever construction, in the unlikely event that The Blackpool Tower ever did fall down, it would fall into the sea rather than the buildings around it.

If Blackpool Tower falls is not mentioned in the article, however, the article does describe a situation where an acrobat had a minor fall during a performance at Blackpool Tower Circus.
The safety and well-being of our performers is of the highest importance.
We have rigorous safety protocols in place, and the performer was executing a rehearsed move under planned conditions.
Our safety and First Aid teams are highly trained and responded quickly and well to the incident.
In response to the incident, as a precautionary measure, all guests were kindly asked to exit the venue to allow Emergency Services to promptly address the situation.
A review of the act will now take place as standard safety procedures.
The Blackpool Tower Circus performances will open as usual today.
We’d like to thank North West Ambulance for their quick response and support.
