WHO IS AERIAL CIRCUS TRAINING FOR?

Aerial Circus is a physically strenuous and demanding activity and is only suitable for

people who are in good physical health. Specifically, you should not participate in this

class if you are pregnant or you suffer with neck or back issues. We require that you

tell us about any other relevant medical condition prior to the commencement of the

class.

WHAT RISKS SHOULD I BE AWARE OF?

Whilst all reasonable endeavours are made to ensure that the activities and facilities

provided by ZERO CENTRAL CIRCUS are safe, our activities carry some inherent risks. In

particular, Aerial Circus carries the risk of incurring all manner of personal injuries

including but not limited to: bruising, cuts, abrasions, muscle cramps, chest discomfort,

nausea, muscular and soft tissue damage; and in more extreme cases facial and dental

injuries, broken bones, joint injuries, cardiac complications, permanent disability, and

death. Such injuries may arise from:
