Acrobatic acts account for 20% of the stage time yet cause 30% of mishaps for Cirque de Soleil amounting to 40% of show's insurance cost. The most daring of these acrobatic acts performed at a height of 50 meters however had a 6 times lower mishap rate than the acrobatic acts performed at 20 meters and 10 meters.
