Cirque du Soleil Fined Over Fall
(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division has fined Cirque du Soleil over a fall that injured a performer last August. An investigation found the performer was transitioning movements on a hoop, their foot slipped and they weren't able to grab the hoop to prevent the fall. The woman suffered several fractures in the 15-foot fall. OSHA fined Cirque du Soleil eight-thousand-dollars for a lack of safety systems.
