| Aerial Swivels

Some aerial acrobatics equipment may not be essential, but after trying them, they suddenly become a favorite and most useful tool. This is the case with swivels. These inconspicuous accessories prevent the twisting of aerial silks, hammocks, or ropes, making training more comfortable and safe. Swivels ensure smooth and free rotation during aerial exercises, making the performed figures even more spectacular. Thus, swivels are essential for easy and comfortable training, although theoretically they are optional equipment. They are usually made of aluminum, and their weight does not exceed 200 g. They can have different static strengths and standards by which they are produced. For safety, we recommend choosing swivels with full certification and a long usage time. You can find such equipment in the Flying Rose offer.

How to use swivels?

Swivels are small but very useful devices. They find their application both in professional aerial studios and in home gyms. Thanks to them, you can enjoy successful and comfortable training without the risk of unwanted twists.

A bearing swivel prevents the material or rope from twisting while allowing long and full rotation. As a result, performing difficult figures becomes easier, and the twist does not limit during the presentation of routines. It also increases the safety of use. A swivel can be used in almost any aerial discipline. It works great both during aerial yoga and aerial silks. Interestingly, it also serves as an important aid in climbing sports or while playing on a Eurobungy. Anyone can use a swivel, but it is important to remember that uncontrolled rotations may initially cause issues with the inner ear balance. The body should be accustomed gradually.

Using swivels is recommended when mounting the attachment on a beam or wooden ceiling using a screw-in hook. Using a swivel in this case prevents the possible unscrewing of the hook.

Swivels are also an essential element when using aerial straps (otherwise known as rigging straps). Swivels ensure independent rotation of each strap.

Flying Rose Swivels

In the Flying Rose offer, you will find tested, certified equipment for aerial sports. These include swivels that we have verified. Thanks to them, you can perform full rotations without the ropes, silks, hammocks, or hoops twisting. Each has a slightly different strength, size, and weight. The swivel with the highest load capacity is the Skylotec Wib, which is estimated to last up to 10 years. Available products also differ in shape. Swivels can be more rounded, conical, or trapezoidal. The way they are used does not differ, but the shape can slightly affect the versatility of the equipment. Some swivels can have two carabiners hung in one eye. These are good alternatives for suspending straps or trapezes.
