Cloud Swing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cloud swing is a type of aerial apparatus. On its simplest level the cloud swing resembles a Spanish web in length and width, with each end braided and spliced-lashed with a thimble, forming a loop. Two high caliber swivels are required to support the weight; the swivels are anchored to a crane bar or a stationary rig.
The cloud swing is a relatively new apparatus, and many of the figures performed on it are borrowed or adapted from static and swinging trapeze.
