Trapeze Artist Survives Horrific Fall [Video]

Whenever I see a circus high wire or trapeze act, I sit there holding my breath, hoping the performer doesn't fall.

At a circus in Moscow, a trapeze artist fell 85 feet and survived!  He fell with such velocity, he ripped through the safety net and landed on the ground below much to the shock of the spectators.

According to Gawker, the performer miraculously is expected to make a full recovery.
