COLUMBIA, S.C. — An attraction crashed during a show at the South Carolina State Fair last weekend.
The incident happened Oct. 16, according to a video shared with WCNC Charlotte. It appeared that no one was injured, including the performer, who fell to the ground.

Nancy Smith, general manager of the fair, issued the following statement to WCNC Charlotte:

"Regarding the circus mishap, a defective bracket on the wheel caused the wheel to shift sideways during the end of the 4:30 performance. The safety lines that were put in place as a backup did their job and prevented anyone from being hurt."
