According to a historical film obtained by The Paper, the decision not to wear safety belts came from working in a “highly competitive” business where performers made “relatively more money” by doing riskier acts. People often see the two of them doing stunts at high altitudes and depending on each other’s strength to stay alive.

The Global Times said that the show’s producer, Anhui Yaxi Performing Arts Media, was fined more than $7,000 for “holding commercial performances without approval.” The Yongqiao District Committee and District Government Investigation Team said they are looking into what happened recently and sent their “deep condolences to the deceased” and her family.
