    The psychological torture and trauma orcas go through in captivity is utterly abhorrent. It's telling that, in captivity, there have been multiple fatal attacks, while a human being has never been harmed by one in the wild. These highly intelligent and social animals basically lose their minds in places like SeaWorld from the horrors they endure for decades at our hands.

The fact that they didn’t immediately give up and decide it was too dangerous for trainers and too stressful for the animals after the first incident is downright disgusting.

      That circus looks like such a cowboy operation. I've done a bit of very low level acrobatics stuff and everything about that trick is breathtakingly wrong. It looks to be either trying to flip both of them or the clown using the other guy as a base to flip himself, and neither should be attempted without someone who is trained in that x

    I was there for the Rhode Island incident, when the acrobats hanging by their hair fell. Took my little sister and we had front row seats. I remember the audience had no idea what happened at first. We thought the drop was part of the act. Then they turned the lights off and asked us not to leave our seats. The circus staff was great and sent clowns into the audience to distract the kids while the ambulances did their thing. Between the circus, meeting a clown, and getting to see an ambulance, my sister thought it was the best day ever.

    In the Ken Peters incident, they cite his survival to the fact that he was an experienced free diver, so every time he came up he was able to breathe efficiently and keep his heart rate down throughout the entire situation (she dragged him down far more than two times, to the bottom of the tank, for longer each dive.) Petes got out because he coincidentally had unrelated hobbies. Terrifying.

    The group high wire fall is a classic example of experience causing safety complacency. A less experienced tightrope walker would request a safety net because they aren’t very confident in what they are doing and are more afraid of the danger, while the experienced tightrope walker has done it so many times that they think they couldn’t possibly make a mistake.

      inclined to think the same for the hair hanging.if they're an established group doing their own rigging they're probably a little lax on how often they switch out their carabiners, i.e. 'oh yeah, that's pushing the 10% wear threshold but we're probably fine' and nobody bothering to disagree. Also they're professionals and it's a fixed, indoor attachment point, they really have no excuse to be using aluminum over steel.

      They are likely also mentally and physically prepared for the worst whenever they are doing the dangerous stuff. After doing it for so long they had to have had other (though maybe less severe) accidents and their bodies probably instinctively react in ways that keep them safer- hold your breath and relax your body if an animal is dragging you underwater, tuck your chin to your chest if you’re falling backwards to try to prevent concussion, etc.

      With the Orcas there's a couple things people need to understand. There's three types of animals that do not do well in captivity: those whose lives consist of migrating large distances constantly, those who are highly intelligent, and those who are highly sociable...Orcas are one of few species who are all three alongside elephants.
      The second thing is that places like SeaWorld are NOT conservation projects, they are NOT rehabilitation centers, they are NOT breeding centers either, however they ARE amusement parks which means their main motication is making money and that means skimping on adequate enclosures, enrichment and food for the animals and also skimping on having actual cientists watching over the animals and instead having underprepared students/regular people with lackluster training in charge of highly intelligent animals, which leads to abuse and a lot of stress put on them...which then leads to the animals going mad and snapping seemingly "out of nowhere" and when a highly intelligent species snaps it is never pretty

Just FYI, the other two: Grant used bed sheets and succeeded, Tori used toilet paper, his ripped and broke when he got to about a foot off the ground but he landed on his feet and it wasn't that high so they said "close enough".
    9:00 That sort of looks like a professional wrestling move called the Spanish Fly, in that move, they hook up facing in opposite directions, and simulatenously flip, one doing a forward roll, the other doing a backflip, difficult to pull off and very dangerous.
    The killer whale incidents are very controversial, there's a documentary film called Blackfish that talks about the effects being in captivity has on orcas, There was one in particular that attacked several other orcas and killed 3 trainers. SeaWorld in particular has taken a lot of criticism for it and has been losing millions for years due to the backlash. They were talking about ending the orca program and shows at their parks, but seems like they've flip flopped on that. Several states have banned having orcas in captivity now though.

    It looked like an attempted assisted backflip for the last clip, but both the flipper and the assistant didn't know what they were doing. You barely need to do any lifting as the assistant, you just guide their legs over your shoulder, but the flipper splayed out, making his legs go over the guys face, and the guy didn't know to just move out of the way once the flipper's head was out from under to not be injured. Following that with a terrible carry was just a perfect video of what not to do.

      Thank you! I was looking for a comment about the last clip. Most of them are just about the orcas or personal experience.
      It was very chaotic and uncomfortable to look at... I wasn't even sure who was supposed to lift whom🤷‍♀
      Sth like that shouldn't be allowed with an audience member without any safety ropes and/or those 5cm high mats you use in gym class at school... They're not soft, but at least cushion the fall a little better than the hard ground.

      Not just the terrible carry, but the lifting to seating right after the flip because of the possibility of a neck injury. Unless the whole thing of him being ‘knocked’ out was an act. But if not, the whole thing was really bad.

      ​@@Lisa_Harlow There are quite a few documentaries on TH-cam that explain it, one that gets mentioned quite often is blackfish.
      If I had to explain it I would say:
      Imagine you're on a covid isolation with your partner. Normally you're probably both at work or not something but in Isolation you can't go to work you're basically captive in a very small bubble with at least on person that intrudes on that space. Both of you would go crazy and be angry and everyone and everything.
      Imagine you're a Orca, the biggest killing machine in the wide wide ocean, then you got kidnapped stuffed into a small pond with little to no outlet for your energy, your drive. But then a human comes and wants to do tricks with you. The rest is written in history.
      Those orcas are severely different than their freely living comrades. They get abused, beaten, starved, dumbed down of course they would act like they do.

      Exactly and why would he need someone to help him do a simple backflip. The proper way to spot is not to hang on to someone but a trainer holds there arm out and as one jumps up and back the momentum carries them. If one has trouble with the carry through of the legs then the spotter will assist in pushing them over quickly and react if they notice something, in fact belts with ropes are used for the young with one person on each side until eventually like training wheels they are let loose.

Also, I think you learn a lot of things in med school, it's amazing to me that Mike only recognizes them by sight (and what could have been damaged). I want to be like that, that's all there is to know, maybe I'm going to med school. Thanks Doctor Mike!

    When I was a kid at the circus I saw a bad fall. One of those acts where the guy hangs upside down with a loop of rope around the back of his neck, and a girl on the other end underneath him spinning really fast.
    They were raised up probably 20+ feet, and there's a variation on that stunt where they let a foot or so of slack on the rope out and she drops down a bit. Oh no she fell, oh it's just part of the act, haha.
    Yeah, well that wasn't part of this act, the rope snapped and she fell. Wouldn't have been too bad a height to fall from except she was spinning so she had no control over the landing. She was badly injured. Worst part was a bunch of shocked kids watching a clown mop up a rather large pool of blood after they took her away.
    She survived, but had some severe neck and head injuries. Both ankles badly broken, and a lot of other fractures all the way up one side.

    The guy in the last clip was released from the hospital with no injuries. His name is Ben Garnham, and it was his first visit to the circus. He was expecting some silly clown shenanigans, not a backflip stunt, which he was unprepared for. He’s actually not mad at the clown, who he spoke to later on about the incident. He’s more upset about being carried like that after being knocked out.
    Not surprisingly, the circus is discontinuing that part of the show.

    Have friends in Cirque du Soleil. I'm from Quebec, where Cirque is from. You would be shocked how many artists have career ending accidents and are retired and are barely compensated. Just saying

      @@tatfly5779 I'm talking of the allegria era 1990s 2000s, in Vegas, and tours around the world. They were good at hiding it. Or since the big boss left the PR team isn't the same. I guess that he had a better rapport with the artists, throwing decadent parties for them. Are you from Quebec too?
