that Open Aerial Training is intended for existing aerial students who have previously attended instructor-led aerial classes and are competent in the safe use of the apparatus they wish to train on. Open Aerial Training is not suitable for beginners.

• Open Aerial Training is an independent practice session and not a coached or instructed class. • I am participating voluntarily and at my own risk. • No formal instruction will be provided during the session. • The supervising staff member is present for health and safety purposes only and is not responsible for teaching skills, spotting participants, or providing training advice. • I will only practise skills and movements that I can perform safely and confidently without instructor assistance. • I will not attempt new tricks, drops, releases, inversions, dynamic movements, or any skill that requires spotting unless specifically authorised by Aerial Stilettos. • I will use apparatus responsibly and in accordance with studio rules. • I will not adjust or make any changes to the rigging including changing apparatus/equipment or unsinging your own apparatus/equipment without prior competence training and approval of an Areal Stilettos approved team member. • Aerial Stilettos reserves the right to stop sessions at any time, without refund, due to safety concerns or participants breaking any rules outlined in this document.

• I am physically fit to participate in aerial activities. • I do not have any medical condition, injury, illness, or impairment that may affect my ability to participate safely, unless I have informed Aerial Stilettos in writing. • I will stop training immediately if I experience pain, dizziness, discomfort, or any symptoms that may affect my safety.

• Follow all instructions relating to studio safety. • Remove all jewellery before using any aerial equipment. • Wear appropriate clothing suitable for aerial training. • Respect fellow participants and equipment. • Wipe down aerial hoops after use with the cleaning materials provided. • Return crash mats to their designated storage area at the end of the session. • Tie up silks at the end of the session unless instructed otherwise by a member of staff. • Report any damaged equipment or safety concerns immediately. • Leave the training area clean and tidy at the end of my session. • If I choose to film or photograph myself during Open Aerial Training, I am responsible for ensuring that other participants are not identifiable in the recording. If another participant may appear in the footage, I will obtain their consent before recording or sharing the content. Aerial Stilettos accepts no responsibility for any recordings made by participants.

I understand that aerial activities involve inherent risks, including but not limited to falls, strains, bruises, sprains, fractures, and other serious injuries. By signing this form, I acknowledge and accept these risks and agree that Aerial Stilettos, its owners, employees, contractors, and representatives shall not be held liable for any injury, loss, damage, or expense arising from my participation in Open Aerial Training, except where caused by negligence that cannot legally be excluded.
