Trapeze Artists. I always thought "acrobat" was an interchangeable term, though; maybe I'm wrong?
Still, it was a trapeze act that killed them. They were called "The Flying Graysons", and Bruce's "This-is-really-me-and-not-a-clone" password for Dick is (according to TvTropes) "That Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze". (It's a song lyric! =D)
ETA: Fun Fact! In Robin's debut comic in 1940, when Bruce was training him, when they got to the part about swinging from ropes, Dick said that he'd been rope-swinging since he was 3. Bruce commented that the youngster could probably teach *him* a thing or two.
