[SML] Flying Effects / Aerial Dance, Liability, and "Certification"

[Bill Sapsis]

It is unlikely that an insurance company for a university will cover an activity like performer flying, primarily because the insurance company will probably not have much experience with performer flying.

Hiring a professional is the common sense approach to this issue.

I'd be willing to bet the cost of bringing in a professional flying expert is much less than expanding your institution's insurance coverage to cover doing it in-house. Find out those numbers and take that to your department chair.
