The Outside Seatbelt Scorpion is a unique and fascinating aerial sling skill, but it does require careful exploration because different leg shapes and different centers of gravity will change how secure the pose is for different bodies. That means that when we teach this in our aerial sling classes, we only teach it to our sling students who have a lot of experience on sling, because they’ll need to be really attentive toward any sensation of sliding that might happen. This aerial sling teaching tutorial video covers our tips for safety approaching this unique skill on sling.
