In the ancient tradition of human spectacle, where performers court danger to remind audiences of life's fragility, a crossbow stunt at the Orange County Fair in Wallkill, New York turned briefly and genuinely perilous on Friday night. Edwin Cuervo Rangel, a traveling circus performer, was struck in the neck by an arrow fired by his wife during their act — a reminder that the line between artistry and catastrophe is sometimes measured in inches. He was airlifted to hospital but is expected to make a full recovery, and the show, as it tends to do, goes on.
