More than 700 people watched as a San Diego man fell to his death Tuesday during a performance in Arizona.
A report on AZCentral.com said Jose Angel Vera fell an estimated 15 to 20 feet during a charity event in Scottsdale. According to the report, Vera, part of a five-member troupe Aerial Artistry, was unraveling his body from a sash while suspended in the air from a vertical chain. He landed headfirst -- there was no net to break his fall.
