Liability Insurance...
...is a major problem for aerial instructors and organizations in the youth circus world. Insurance companies are unwilling to insure learning activities in which no "standards" of instruction have been set. AYCO is making a major effort to address this issue. AYCO board member and rigging expert, Warren Bacon, has drafted "A Proposal for Safety and Risk Management Standards for Aerial Activities". His proposal is being written to follow the guidelines of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Once these standards have been agreed to by AYCO and accepted by ANSI, aerial instructors who follow these standards in their work will have a much easier time obtaining liability insurance.
v Warren's proposal will be reviewed extensively before it is approved. To see the document, see http://www.americanyouthcircus.org/standards.html. To give your input, email Warren Bacon at rig2@aol.com.
