Sun and her husband surnamed Zhang had been working together for many years. According to a report in The Paper, they often performed without safety belts “for the sake of looking good”.
Videos shared online of the incident showed a crane pulling the couple high into the air. The man’s arms were wrapped with a material attached to the crane while the woman was holding him.
During the performance, the woman used her arms and wrapped them around her husband’s head. However, the unfortunate incident happened when she lost her grip on her husband who tried to catch her with his legs.
