Exclusive Video - Sea World Performer Injured
Saturday, July 21, 2007--An acrobat at Sea World was injured Friday, after falling 20 feet during a performance.

The accident happened about 2:30 pm, during the show called "cirque de la mer."

The acrobat fell while performing a stunt, involving sliding down a pole upside down, using his legs to control his descent.

Medics found the acrobat conscious and alert, but decided to take him to a hospital as a precaution.

The mishap occurred near the end of the show, and all other performances at the park went on as scheduled.
