It’s understood the woman, aged in her 30s, had been using aerial silks when the fabric became separated from the beam it was tied to.
She fell approximately five metres to the ground, according to an RACQ LifeFlight Rescue source.
The rescue chopper was called to a private property somewhere in the region just before 6pm.
Paramedics were on the scene when the aeromedical team arrived.
The woman was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition, suffering from suspected spinal injuries.
