Purchasing Aerial Equipment for Home Use
All of the equipment at Aerial Dance is top of the line. Our attachment points are over engineered with massive safety factors.
We do not recommend purchasing aerial equipment for home use unless you are having the attachment point rated by a structural engineer. Screwing an eyebolt into a beam is NOT proper rigging for humans. Frankly, it is unsafe and could seriously injure you. If you are serious about at home practice you should:
Check with your insurance company. Many policies exclude aerial-- if you or someone at your house gets hurt on your equipment, you may be liable.
Have your intended rigging point properly inspected by an engineer and properly installed for human flight.
Then contact the studio and we'll get you the names of places to source equipment properly rated equipment.
If you want to do home aerial, purchase a full free standing rig from a reputable company as those have been engineered for aerial; this is what the company uses for our offsite events. Rigging from a swing set is not safe as they are not designed and constructed for the force load aerial creates. Never rig from a tree without an arborist checking it out. A lot of safety checks and engineering has gone into what the studio uses to keep you safe; incorrect rigging and equipment can kill you so do your homework before buying anything for home use.
Instead of dealing with all that, purchase an unlimited ELITE membership and get unlimited Aerial classes and practices at the studio!
