Check the carabiners are locked

With our auto-locking steel carabiners, simply twist and push inward on the locking gate to open the carabiner and attach your aerial equipment. The locking gate will snap back into place. Check that it is fully shut!

How to Tie Silks

  • Pink scarf and a bottle opener on a white background.

    Find the center of your silk.

  • A person holding a pink swaddle or blanket with a black plastic clip at the top, used for wrapping a baby.

    Pull approx. 1 foot of fabric through the bottom hole of the rescue 8.

  • Hand holding a pink fabric or cloth, with a black object in the background and the number 3 in the upper left corner.

    Loop the fabric under and pull it back through the center of the bottom hole.

  • Pink fabric being knotted or tied by hand with a tattoo visible on the wrist, and a black object in the background.

    Pull the loop up and over the top of the rescue 8.

  • A pink fabric wrapped around a black ring, held by two hands, with the number five in the top left corner.

    Pull the fabric down to tighten the knot around the ‘ears’ of the Rescue 8. The fabric tails will be on the outside of the knot, keeping them separate for ease of use.

For Lyras… How to:

Loop a Spanset

While it does reduce the Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) by 50%, we use the choke hitch, pictured here, to attach the spanset to the lyras. It is still plenty strong and keeps the spanset from sliding.
