November 30, 2025 - 09:32 PM breaking news durham - leonmacmahon@aol.com With more films competing for moviegoers' attention these days, the competition for key release dates has led studios to announce release dates three, four or even five years in advance, often for movies that haven't been made yet. This often requires picking a release date several years in advance, which has its own set of risks -- mainly that it locks in a completion date, which may result in a rushed, inferior film. In fact, some aerialists don't use nets if they're working closer to the ground or using equipment that may tangle, and it keeps them on alert. And yeah, sure: Perfecting every trick really might involve simply getting back on the horse (pun intended), but there's certain safety equipment required in some circuses for equestrian practice. Because when we say the audience can't "see" the safety measures, we don't mean they're secretly wearing tiger-repellent vests or gravity-defying underwear that allow acrobats to fly with ease between trapeze bars. Let's just say that for certain performers, a healthy scalp could literally save your life. When we say rigging, we're referring to the wires or lines that control the performers' movement in the air. While we might think of equestrian performances as safer than airborne acts, it's hard to believe that vaulting off a 1,000-pound (454-kilogram) horse galloping at full speed is for more reserved performers.
