AERIAL SAFETY WARNING TO OUR CUSTOMER:
Thank you for your purchase of aerial fabric rigging materials and equipment from Aerial Fabric Acrobatics, LLC (“AFA”). We appreciate your business. Aerial acrobatic activities are fun but are inherently dangerous. Dangling, swinging or falling through the air can generate force up to five (5) times your body weight, or more, depending on the movement. The use of our equipment and video instructions, even if properly followed, could lead to serious injury or death. While AFA strongly encourages all products be assembled by qualified individuals, and in strict accordance with assembly instructions, no amount of care or knowledge can eliminate all risks of danger. Your use of our products is at your own risk.
AFA TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OR MISUSE OF AFA PRODUCTS. YOU PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
IN NO EVENT SHALL AERIAL FABRIC ACROBATICS, LLC OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES TO PROPERTY OR LIFE DUE TO THE USE OR MISUSE OF OUR PRODUCTS.
Please be safe. Improper use or installation of our products could lead to serious injury or death. Practicing at home poses more risks than practicing in a studio. Always practice above a padded mat. Some medical conditions are not recommended for aerial activities; always check with your doctor before beginning aerial acrobatic activities or any type of exercise program. Never practice aerial arts alone. Always practice under the guidance of a certified aerial instructor, and always ensure your equipment is installed by a professional rigger. All aerial equipment should be inspected before each use for safety. AFA uses a safety factor (also called a design factor) of 6 to 1 for aerial fabric. Based on the minimum breaking strength from destructive testing, we recommend a working load limit of 416 pounds. AFA instructional videos are limited to the assembly of the fabric to the hardware provided. Not every home or studio will be the same, and therefore, AFA cannot advise on any rigging activities. It is essential that anyone using our products be fully aware of prescribed industry methods for assembling rigging apparatus, including, but not limited to all necessary safety procedures and precautions. If you haven’t established a safe rigging point, please do this first with the help of a structural engineer, experienced rigger, or other professional familiar with what you're hanging and where you're hanging it.
