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

[Dale Farmer]

Another way to make the powers that be see reality is for you to work up a cost breakdown for what it would cost to get you trained to do this.  So maybe a three week training and practitum, cost of the additional  insurance rider, any required equipment.  Don't forget that your understudy will also need this training, in case you get sick or break an arm or whatever.   I suspect that those costs would get into the five figure range pretty easily.

Is the insurance required for 'flying' someone greater than the insurance for rigging circus equipment that a performer flies on?

I'd suggest having a chat with your campus risk-management office. 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.
