in a sentence or two summarize the event that causes the end of the flying avalons act how would i summarize this

Harry Avalon and his pregnant wife, Anna, climbed up to
the trapeze, blindfolded themselves, and swung out on the swings. While they were in
midair, about to meet, lightning stuck the main pole of the tent and sizzled down the
guy wires, collapsing the whole tent. and sending Harry into the crowd, killing him.
 When his wife did not feel her husband's hands, she tore away her blindfold, grabbed
ahold of a hot wire, which burned her hands badly, and  was slowly lowered to the floor.
She  was not hurt until an overeager rescuer broke her arm while extricating her from
the wire also bringing down a portion of the tent that knocked her unconscious.
This sent her to the hospital for many weeks where she met a doctor, married him, and
ended the Avalon Trapeze Act.
