A lion dance performance in central China ended in tragedy when one of the dancers plunged six metres (19 feet) from an elevated platform.
At least two performers were doing a lion dance routine on a small platform balanced by a ladder in front of a crowd on Monday in Dengfeng, Henan province when one of the dancers lost his balance and fell.
The man, who was knocked unconscious, was immediately taken to hospital with injuries to his head, according to Chinese media.
