Lukasz Malewski, a professional skater and performer, was performing a stunt at the FlicFlac circus in Duisburg, Germany when the horrific event occurred. A circus artist was thrown 20 feet from the ground after taking a mistaken turn while rollerblading.

Lukasz’s running take-off went horribly wrong, and he fell 20 feet to the ground as a result of his inability to get a strong grip. He then appears to fly through the rafters in front of a roaring audience before landing on one foot on the ramp.

Lukasz, thankfully, just suffered a fractured wrist.

Lukasz Malewski tells the media, ‘It could have been much worse. I have bruised ribs, hip, shoulder. It felt like a car had hit me. But I’m fine, I’m alive.“

Joe Atkinson, a stuntman who was acting alongside Lukasz at the time of his accident, stated, “I was running up the stairs for the next jump and I heard a bang. One of the scooter riders attempted to spot him as he fell.“
