The sway pole act I believe to be the most dangerous of all aerial acts……there are too many things that can go wrong, but for that matter all aerial acts are dangerous. I have seen performers check and recheck the guy wires because someone might have messed with them. I know of an incident where a high act sat up on a roof top such as here in this photo. The act was set up to advertise a shopping center in El Monte, Calif. That night it rained and the weight of the rigging caused it to go though the roof …..luckly no one was hurt. Here again I say aerial performers have nerves of steel.
