Destructive Testing of Aerial Fabric

By 1 commentRigging, Uncategorized

Hey – ever wonder what happens when a fabric fails? How much force is needed to make that happen? How wear and tear affects a fabric’s strength?

A few years ago, I donated my very first fabric to Phil Servita and his Machine That Breaks Things. You can find the results here (I’m Destructive Test #2): http://flyingsquirrelconsortium.com/ptest2007/index.html. Really interesting!!!

Love and pullups, Laura

My poor fabric when it finally bit the dust!

    That’s fascinating – thanks for linking it! A pity he didn’t have more samples to test.

Have you signed up for a class yet? What are you waiting for?

Seriously - these classes are not going to take themselves! Jump right in. Whether you "have zero upper body strength" or have been around the aerial block a few times, I'd love to see you in sessions!
