Everyone should be familiar with acrobatic performances, many people cheer for their thrilling movements, but behind the tossing and jumping of the actors on stage, there is an unpredictable danger, once there is an accident, it may be life-threatening.
On April 15, 2023, an actress suddenly fell to her death while performing an aerial show, and this incident has given us more food for thought, for whom acrobatics may be more and more inclined to become a "life-playing" profession.
Many people may wonder why these acrobats don't set up protective equipment to keep themselves safe when performing at heights?
The reason why everyone sees that the current acrobats are at ease is because the actors who can't complete the corresponding actions have already chosen to change careers or participate in some small performances, and those who choose to stay are acrobats who have certain means.
But even so, the acrobat's job is also dangerous, and a dangerous action made in the air may cause casualties if one is not careful, according to the investigation of industry insiders, if the acrobat wears a safety rope, then it will affect the beauty and accuracy of the action.
Generally speaking, acrobats will choose to throw away the safety rope after many Xi to pursue more standard movements and higher completion, and the viewing experience will be better for the audience.
So it caused a consequence, that is, the life of the acrobat actually depends on the safety measures on the ground, and it has little to do with the equipment in the air.
For most acrobats, it is necessary to change the venue for performance, there may be protective equipment before, and then it becomes a complete cement floor, once falling from a height, it is basically powerless.
The main cause of casualties among acrobats is also the issue of protective measures, and the reasons for the lack of protective equipment are mainly divided into two aspects, one is the personal problems of acrobats mentioned earlier.
In order to provide a more exciting viewing experience for the audience, some acrobatic groups tend to abandon the use of safety measures, and once a group preemptively does so, it will bring competitive pressure to other acrobatic groups.
In order to ensure their status in the industry, the relevant acrobatic groups naturally have to take the same measures, otherwise they may lose their fan reserves, for acrobatic groups, reputation is crucial, and whoever performs well in the industry will naturally have higher profits.
Under the influence of the concept of acrobats, many groups have abandoned safety precautions, and although the relevant simulations have been carried out at the time of training, no one can guarantee that the condition will always be perfect.
Moreover, the mentality of training is different from that of actually performing on stage, and acrobats tend to be more nervous when there is an audience offstage, especially the cheers from the audience, which is likely to affect their state.
In this way, the safety hazards are naturally greater, we must know that the development of acrobatics in China has a history of thousands of years, in these thousands of years, how many innovations and concessions have people made for this?
Acrobatics is positioned from safe performances to high-risk performances, but in the final analysis, the competition within acrobat groups is too fierce, resulting in many people not being determined to do it, and even the remaining performers have to face an increasingly dangerous working environment.
Moreover, acrobatic performances, in fact, can only be engaged in when they are young, generally speaking, the peak period of acrobats is 20 to 25 years old, young people are not experienced enough, and if they are older, their physical conditions cannot support it.
After frequent high-intensity performances, there will be a lot of injuries accumulated in the body, and in addition, during the previous training, most actors could only learn Xi acrobatic performance knowledge, and after quitting, they didn't know other knowledge at all, and it was very difficult to change careers.
Therefore, after many acrobats quit the gang, most of them become petty traders or work as security guards by virtue of their physical condition, which is not a good place for them.
In addition, in the acrobatic performance, the influence of Party A also makes the life of the acrobats not very easy, simply put, the boss will lower the price of these acrobats, and compare the offers of four or five gangs to choose.
For the boss, it doesn't matter whether the performance is of a high standard, the most important thing is to stimulate it, so he often doesn't care much about the arrangement of protective measures, and the price given is only a few thousand yuan at most.
Even if some acrobats perform in scenic spots and other places, with corresponding safety guarantees, most of the income has to be taken away by scenic spots, and they can only get about 30% of them, and they are sharing one point with others, which is naturally not much.
All in all, the current acrobatic industry is almost equal to playing with life, in order to change this situation, we can only lower the competitive atmosphere within the acrobats, let more Party A bosses pay attention to safety issues, and finally improve the safety awareness within the entire industry.
