Eight people were stacked in a pyramid high above the ground. Five were rushed to an area hospital with injuries, but all survived, WFTS reported.
Nik Wallenda was there, and part of the formation, but was not hurt in the accident, but said at the time that it was a miracle everyone survived, WTVT reported.
One person had three broken toes, another performer, Rietta Wallenda, injured her leg and hip. She is still recovering two years later, but it could have been much worse, according to WTVT.
"She was coming down head first when some guy from the side came running in and hit her and turned her over so she didn't land straight on her head. (He) saved her life," Rick Wallenda told WTVT.
