Aerial Silk - Rigging

Rigging

Aerial rigging applies to the hanging of aerial silks and hammocks. Aerial silk rigging equipment commonly includes:

  • a figure-eight descender, rescue eight, ring, or other piece of hardware for holding the silk
  • a ball-bearing swivel to keep the silk from twisting and to allow for spinning
  • carabiners for connecting the silk hardware to the swivel, and for connecting the swivel to a mounting point
