SAVE OUR SELVES: Rigging for Aerialists
When you have a passion for the thrill, beauty and awe of being in the air, it can be easy to forget just how much risk you expose yourself to on a daily basis.
And when the safety of your life depends on mitigating the inherent risks that come with dangling from an apparatus metres above the ground, any form of complacency could be the kiss of death for you as a professional - figuratively and literally.
Whether you're instructing aerial classes or you're performing independently, if you're a progressive aerial professional who values understanding safety, you won't want to miss this workshop!

- Calculating safe work loads
- Proper gear selection
- Identifying the red flags for independent aerialists
- Protocols of aerialists
- Attitude and altitude: protecting yourself at heights
- Finding a safe way to say yes to your client (but also knowing when to say no)
- Mindful mechanics: mitigating risk through a mindfulness practice.
