“Making single point aerial circus disciplines safer” by Cossin, Ross and Gosselin

The purpose of this study was to measure the dynamic tension force between the apparatus and the hanging equipment of five aerial circus apparatus and to recommend minimal loading requirements in rigging and design.

Rigging aerial equipment in trees can offer a natural and scenic setting, but it also presents unique risks and challenges that must be carefully evaluated.

Tree-based aerial rigging can be done responsibly, but it requires careful planning, professional consultation, and strict adherence to safety standards. When in doubt, seek the guidance of a certified arborist or rigging specialist.
