With a high trapeze act comes obvious risk, and anyone who swings high above a circus ring knows the real danger involved – especially if there isn’t a safety net present.

An act on the hugely popular show, 'America’s Got Talent', went horribly wrong when a couple’s acrobatic routine turned into an absolute nightmare. High above the stage, the woman slips out of her partner's grip and plummets towards the stage – upside down!

You can only imagine how shocked the judges and audience were, but like a true professional, she stands up after falling and acknowledges that she’s okay. Phew! 

Huff Post reports that a mat helped break her fall, saving her from broken bones and injury. They wanted to give it another go after the fall, but the judges declined. They did manage to advance to the next round, however. 

This performance is guaranteed to have you on the edge of your seat.
