Introduction
Safety is paramount in the use of the Aerial Hoop. These instructions are to be used as a guide and are not a complete list of safety
practices. These instructions are designed to provide you with general safety information and considerations before the use of the

Equipment Check:
Inspect the Hoop for any defects, damage or wear and tear. Regular inspections are recommended, that being daily before use
and a thorough inspection weekly. Check for cracks, bending, loose components and any other defects.
Inspect the Rigging to ensure all carabiners, swivels, and other rigging components are in good condition and there are no signs
of wear and tear. Check the supporting bar and frame that the Aeriel Hoop is hanging from.
Inspect the Connection/Connectors and verify that the Aerial Hoop is securely attached to the rigging point. Cease use immedi-
ately if any signs of defects are found. Replace any equipment that shows signs of wear and tear.

• Any cracks on the plastic grips.
• Changes in the overall shape to the apparatus.
• Rusting or corrosion of the metal components.
• Check the carabiner for any damage to the thread, gate or overall shape.
