Cirque du Soleil mishaps are infrequent but not unheard of
The death of a Cirque du Soleil acrobat during a performance of "Ka" on Saturday shocked audience members at the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas. The Times reported that some in the audience saw Sarah Guillot-Guyard, 31, fall to her death near the end of the show after she apparently lost her balance or grip from her position dangling high above the stage.Â
