Определение и Значение "wheel of death"

What is the "wheel of death"?

The wheel of death is a circus apparatus consisting of two large, spinning wheels mounted on a frame. Performers, often known as wheel artists, climb inside or onto the wheels and execute daring acrobatic tricks as the wheels rotate. The wheels spin horizontally, and performers use their strength and balance to move and perform stunts while maintaining stability. The wheel of death requires exceptional timing, coordination, and bravery, as the high-speed rotation and height add to the thrill and complexity of the performance.
