flying trapeze artist

Circus bar swinger

A flying trapeze artist is a circus performer who swings from a suspended bar, releases mid-air, and is caught by a partner on another trapeze.

The act requires precise timing, acrobatic skill, and trust between performers.

The flying trapeze artists executed a perfect triple somersault.
