Sarasota acrobat Cyrus Nock had an unfortunate accident at the Barnstable County Fair in Falmouth, Massachusetts earlier this week. The daredevil dislocated an elbow, fractured a vertebrae, fractured three ribs, and has a collapsed lung following the fall from the "Wheel of Destiny." The fall was estimated to be 20 feet.
Nock is part of a family of acrobats, "The Nerveless Nocks," which has been a family tradition since the 1840s in Switzerland. The family has said that once Cyrus rests and recovers, he'll be right back out on the road performing again.
