It’s a good idea to note that MOST residential ceilings are not safe to rig from. Generally wood framed houses are not strong enough for the forces generated when doing aerial. The professional mentioned in the video is a structural engineer, which can be very expensive. The solution for most people is to buy a portable rig that is low enough to fit indoors.

Helpful comment :) Wood frames houses are a no-go but what kind are suitable for aerials rigging? I've seen quite a few people with rigging in their houses now but unsure what kind of materials are conducive to this kind of installation?

@snachicat Жыл бұрын

@@ebonygraveur8053 Honestly from what I have seen most people have no concept of the risks they are taking on. The people you are seeing are likely no exception. Always consult with an engineer before rigging from a ceiling. If you wouldn't hang a car from it, do not hang your inverted body from it. Steel and concrete may be suitable, same with the wooden construction in converted mills/lofts as the buildings were originally designed to support heavy equipment, but always always consult with an engineer, and know that you are better off just getting a free-standing rig where the forces are spread to the floor with four points of contact.

@ebonygraveur8053 Жыл бұрын

@@snachicat Yes, I get that. I wasn't born yesterday and understand structural engineers exist for a reason. Thanks anyway for the lecture. I didn't ask "what materials are theoretically possible" because I planned to go gung ho ahead but rather because, if my house material happens to fall in the categorically unsuitable basket, I'd rather not pay the thousands of dollars to have someone tell me that.

@aerialpractice 4 жыл бұрын

The point is aerial setup should be evaluated case by case. Otherwise it could be very unsafe. I find it impossible to tell how safe or how unsafe just by looking at videos or pictures. There are a lot of things to check first before installing, and testing after to see whether it can hold. Ask around to see someone who can assist you!

Does the fabric have to stretch? I've been thinking about trying by there is so many small details no one seems to cover, I heard it's called silk but real silk doesn't stretch so I'm very confused on the safest fabric to use.

@aerialpractice 3 жыл бұрын

I understand the confusion. I had the feeling too but slowly learn from experience. I have 4 fabrics now (they are all called silks or fabric but since I used them more as hammocks so I call them hammocks more). They all have slightly different stretch but I generally stay with low stretch for the space I have and the way I use them. The only time I use a high-stretch fabric was for doing silk tricks in a very high ceiling studio, where I have space to bounce around in the air. In short, if you have limited space, i personally would choose low stretch as a safer choice.
