Aerial Safety

Aerial equipment should never be used unsupervised, please consult a professional.

Everything below assumes you have a suitable and safe rigging point, like a professionally installed rigging point or a reputable and rated freestanding rig. Not every home/studio will be the same, so we cannot advise on this part. If you haven’t established a safe rigging point, please do this first with the help of a structural engineer/experienced rigger/professional familiar with what you're hanging and where you're hanging it.

Check out our aerial blogs for more information.

Simple and Stable

Firetoys 1-Point Aerial Hoops are the most widely used Aerial Hoop globally. The single tab is simple to rig and ideal for spinning with a swivel. We make our Aerial Hoops in the UK to exceptionally high safety standards.

A 1-Point Aerial Hoop has more stability and predictability when rigged from the tab than a 0-Point/tabless hoop. And you can choose to choke soft rigging directly to the hoop!

The tab means you can connect a hanging rope, these look great on stage and have a better grip than a strop/spanset.

Suitable for all levels

With limited height, a 1-Point or 0-Point hoop is best compared to a 2-Point hoop.

Studios usually prefer a 1-point or 0-point hoop, as do most beginners.

Some advanced moves benefit from having the hoop rigged from its tab. Moves such as Beats to Front Balance, Coffin Drop, and other catch and release moves from the top bar work best when you use the rigging point. That's because it makes the hoop's movements more predictable, and the performer doesn’t need to consider which side of the choke they are on.

Sizing

You can see our size guide for a standard Aerial Hoop here.

You might also want to consider going up a size if you intend to use this hoop for doubles.

Note: All sizes listed are the EXTERNAL diameter of the Hoop. For the internal measurement deduct 5 cm (2 inches) from the external diameter.

How to Rig a 1 Point Hoop

A polyester Strop or Polysafe Rope can be choked onto the top bar directly. Alternatively, a number of ropes and strops can be attached to the tab using a carabiner.

A Prodigy Aerial Sling can also be used if you would like the rigging to be less visible for a performance or photoshoot.

If you're going to be spinning on the hoop, you will need a swivel attached above the rope or strop.
