Why you shouldn’t learn skills off of YouTube or Instagram? What kind of insurance you have to have (and how having an aerial point in your home can affect your homeowner’s insurance?)

What a safe rigging point looks like (and what an unsafe rigging point looks like)? How to properly rig aerial equipment, including what type of equipment to buy? If they said it is not sufficient to support what you are wanting to do, you would have to retrofit (AKA remodel) the entire structure of your home.Įven if you were to do all of that, there are myriad other risks involved with beginners being on aerial equipment unsupervised.
