"Ceiling Anchor Point" – The Highest Level of Safety for Your Home Aerial Practice

🌟 Introduction: Safety is Non-Negotiable

Soaring through the air on silks, a hoop, or a hammock is an exhilarating passion. However, to fully enjoy the magic of aerial arts, absolute trust in your equipment is essential. The foundation of any suspension system is the ceiling anchor point. It's the one element that holds your entire world in the air.

As aerial specialists, we see a growing problem: the market is flooded with "DIY" and unverified solutions that lure customers with low prices but carry unimaginable risks. That's why we created a Ceiling Anchor Point that sets a new standard in home studio safety. It is validated not only by our expertise but, most importantly, by rigorous, international safety standards.

🛡️ What Separates a Safe Anchor Point from "Just a Hook"? The Standard is Key

True safety begins with certification. Our Ceiling Anchor Point complies with two crucial standards: EN 795/A-2012 and DIN 580.

EN 795/A-2012 (Personal Fall Protection Equipment): This is the most important standard. In practice, it means our product meets the same strict requirements as professional fall protection systems used, for example, on construction sites or in high-altitude work. A Type A anchor device is designed to be attached to a surface (ceiling, wall, structure) and is intended for use by one person in a fall arrest system. This represents the highest level of safety available on the market and guarantees that the point will withstand the forces involved in aerial arts.
DIN 580 (Eyebolts and Eye Nuts): This standard relates to the design and strength of the eyebolts, ensuring the proper quality and geometry of the crucial anchoring component.

In Summary: By using our Anchor Point, you are suspending your equipment based on standards designed to save lives.

💪 Impressive Numbers That Guarantee Peace of Mind

Safety is not just about certifications; it's about hard, test-confirmed data. Our Ceiling Anchor Point has been subjected to a series of tests that prove its extreme durability.

Strength Parameter	Value	Explanation
WLL (Working Load Limit)	340 kg	The maximum safe load that should be applied during daily use. This provides sufficient safety reserve for dynamic moves and even two-person setups.
BLL (Breaking Load Limit)	2380 kg	The minimum force at which the tested element will fail. This huge difference between WLL and BLL is your safety margin, which is essential for sudden, dynamic jerks. For comparison: that’s enough to hold over two tonnes of load!

Test Confirmation: Static and Dynamic

Aerial products are exposed to both long-term, stable loads (static) and sudden, violent forces (dynamic).

Static Test (Resistance to Long-Term Pressure):

The sample was subjected to a load of 13 kN (approx. 1325 kg) for a full 3 minutes. Tests were conducted in three key directions (X, Y, Z), simulating the forces acting on the point during exercises in different planes. The results (curves) confirmed that the anchor point maintained the required load without damage.
Dynamic Test (Resistance to Jerks and Drops):

A drop test using a 200 kg dummy was performed, also in three directions (X, Y, Z). In each test, the result was positive – the load was sustained. This is crucial because during dynamic acrobatics (drops, sudden movements), momentary forces can be many times greater than your body weight.

⚙️ Construction: Details That Define Safety

The strength of the Anchor Point comes from the quality of materials and precision manufacturing:

Material: We use C15 carbon steel, known for its high strength.
Corrosion Protection: The element is galvanized and additionally powder coated, ensuring durability and resistance to rust, even in humid environments.
Connection Durability: The most important detail – the eyelet is permanently connected to the base through welding, which eliminates the risk of loosening or weakening this crucial component.

🚨 Contrast and Education: Why You Must Avoid Unsafe Solutions

Now, let's get to the core of education: risk. We often encounter "home" anchor points that are a fatal mistake and extremely dangerous.

The example shows a typical, unacceptable domestic anchor .

Poor Anchoring/Screws: The visible, thin screws are not designed to bear dynamic loads. They can easily bend, break, or worse – be pulled out of the ceiling along with pieces of plaster and concrete.
Lack of Certification and Testing: Such a "hook" lacks a Declaration of Conformity and, consequently, has no confirmed WLL and BLL parameters. You don't know how much force it can withstand until it's too late.
Connection Component: These often involve carabiners or eyelets of questionable quality and strength that fail under load.

Warning: A low-quality carabiner/eyelet can break even under a small, dynamic load, as shown in the picture , where a broken or distorted metal element is visible . Such a failure during practice results in a serious accident, or even permanent injury. When it comes to aerial arts, there is no room for compromise on safety.

💚 Conclusion: Choose Peace of Mind and the Highest Quality

If aerial arts are your passion, choose equipment that provides you with peace of mind. Our Ceiling Anchor Point is the answer to the needs of professionals and ambitious amateurs. Investing in a product compliant with EN 795/A standards is an investment in your health and safety.

Review your current anchor point today. If you cannot find a Declaration of Conformity, WLL, and BLL for it, you should replace it immediately.
