Acrobat dies during Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil performance - Day 395

"Paris-born Sarah Guyard-Guillot, 31, was performing in the Ka show at the MGM Grand when the accident occurred on Saturday night. An eye-witness told the Las Vegas Sun that Guyard-Guillot was being hoisted up the side of the vertical stage when she appeared to become disconnected from her safety cable and plummeted to the ground.

 

Performers wear harnesses which connect them to a safety wire, but according to witnesses the mother-of-two was still wearing her harness when she fell. Guyard-Guillot, who had more than 20 years' experience as an acrobatic performer, was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead at 11.43pm."

And she was also a mother, a mother of two children who will spend their life wondering why their mother had to risk her life on a daily basis. Why anyone has to risk their life just to have enough money to have a dignified life?

These types of jobs would have never existed if money was not the directive principle. Why would anyone risk one's life on a daily basis if it is not for one's survival? And who is responsible for this death? It is us, the entertainment zombies that cannot see that our demand for pleasure and Leisure is that which forces the suppliers to place themselves in a risky situations such as these.

 

What is interesting in this story is that this show runs for more than a decay and only because of this death, the police is now investigating whether or not this show can continue to run or whether it is too dangerous for the participants of the show. Obviously, cancelling the show now means - lost of jobs, lost of one's access to money and therefore, it is not the solution.

We keep on missing the solution by going to the places where the solution cannot be found. We are looking for quick solution for small problems while ignoring the big picture - the root of the problem through which a solution can be finally established.

 

The Equal Money System and within that, the B.I.G solution all over the world will ensure that everyone can do calculated and informative free choice regarding their occupation and regardless of what they will choose to do, their basic human rights will stand and be fulfilled with dignity. It is highly unlikely that parents would consciously decide to risk their life in a world that money or the lack of it is no longer an issue. What we would most likely to see is parents actually spending time with their children, educating them to become effective human beings while making sure that the child has what the child needs to grow in confident, self esteem within valuable principles - that which is best for all lives.
