We have a lot of thoughts about the theory of Bomb Drops that we dive into in this aerial silks tutorial video for the Fabric Theory of Bomb Drops. Our aerial silks tutorial video for teachers explores not only how the aerial silks wraps work but also how and why different body positions work best for each different version of Bomb Drop that we teach.

Safely absorbing the force at the bottom of a freefall drop is very important to keep the aerialist safe and secure in the wrap, and the best body position changes based on the wrap that is chosen. This tutorial video explores the Bomb Drop that ends in an Opposite Side Wrap, a Same Side Wrap, and a Crossback Wrap and we explain the key differences in force distribution between the different wraps.
