Circus FMX stunt goes wrong...

As they say in the stunt business, don't try this at home kids... There are dangers to getting airborne inside the big-top circus tent

The world of freestyle motocross, or FMX, has been made famous by the likes of the Crusty Demons of Dirt, the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour and the Nitro Circus.

But this next stunt was performed in a circus that didn't quite have its act together...

The Youtube video below shows what happens when an FMX rider strikes an object high up in the upper reaches of the big-top.

Thankfully the rider survived, although he did break the strongest bone in the human body - the femur.

Warning - this video is not for the squeamish.
