Aerial Equipment and Rigging FAQ.
                   I highly suggest that anyone into aerials
                   or considering purchasing rigging go to the
                   following web page about rigging best practices.
                   Learn about rigging before you do it.

                   http://community.simplycircus.com/tutorials/aerial/aerial_arts_faq.htm
                  
Also  for Rigging math, load & shock calculations
                  
Delbert Hall's web page http://www.d2flying.com/ Certified ETCP rigger.
 


Set-up is only about 15 minutes, even less once you get good at it.

Great for Single, Double trapeze, fabric, Spanish Web, etc. 
         NOT for SWINGING trapeze, see following note.

   
  Moderate swinging activities are possible as long as the swing
    does NOT go beyond the legs. 
    The rig can be guyed out using just 2 cables
    and then will allow for a little more swinging.


Aerial Dance Performers:
This might be your solution to places where you can't  use tie down guy wires.
Can be set up to various height by just choosing which and how many leg segments to use.
Header is set up to allow for single point suspension like fabric, and 2 point suspension like a trapeze bar.
The header also has hookup points for safety lines & Pulleys,  and for equipment hoisting cables and pulleys.

Being a 4 leg design vs. a 3leg tripod, The user of a single or double trap does not wind up with having a rig leg
right in front of or behind them, preventing even the smallest of swings.

Disclaimer
Aerials and the use of aerial rigging is an extremely hazardous activity.
The activity of aerial sports as trapeze, web, fabric, hoop etc. is a thrill seeking,
daredevil type of activity.
It is extremely hazardous and should be approached with this in mind.
When doing these activities you are willfully risking life & limb.
The use of, and the erection and lowering of a rig is a very dangerous activity as well.
The manufacture cannot determine how the equipment will be used or abused, mis-used.

Therefore: Damnhot, Ludwig Goppenhammer and the manufacturer takes
no responsibility for safety of this equipment.
The USER (you) , knowing the  extreme nature of this endeavor,  assumes all responsibility.
If the user is not willing to assume the risks associated with this sport and activity,
then perhaps the user should not engage in the sport and the use of this or any aerial equipment,
and should find a more benign activity to participate in. 


NEVER, EVER tie aerial fabric to the upright legs of a free standing rig
for storage  to get it out of the way  when rig is set up outdoors where wind is possible.
The fabric turns into a big sail and will easily tip the rig over, possibly
on spectators or bystanders. Not funny, has actually happened to someone
with the old heavy rig. That fabric puts out a LOT of power in the wind.
Or twist fabric tight, wrap around leg and secure so wind can't catch it.
