OTV is one of the only companies to offer fully constructed ready to go Aerial Bungee Packs and are perfectly complimented by our Trapeze style spreader bars, available as a package at a discount.
The Premium Aerial Performance Bungee Packs are built from cotton jacket bungee made specifically for aerial performance use and imported directly from France - Inside each high performance spandex sleeve is three 5' bungee loops and a tubular webbing limiter/safety, plus two additional loops to adjust for heavier weights adjustments. The limiter prevents the 5' packs from exceeding their maximum safe elongation and a mini-thimble in the sleeve enclosure keeps the bungee protected from damage by the carabiner. Each splice has a fire-retardant heat shrink wrap to prevent the clips from catching/damaging anything. The 5' Packs will elongate to 17' and will try it's damnedest to retract back to 5' taking you with it (the same 5’ length with 'normal' bungee has an elongation to only 10’)
Spandex World is also only 1 block from us, so even though the default color is black, the sleeves can be any color spandex you find on their website that has at least 75% stretch along the length. A full set of the French Cotton with all the bells and whistles is running $450, which, if you're serious about using them to perform, is pretty great considering all the details
Due to the never ending concern for the safety of all aerialists, we do not sell any bungee packs without limiters. It is possible to buy individual loops without them, but we rely on your own sense of self-preservation and our list of customers to know whether you are putting safety second to money. We reserve the right to refuse to sell to individuals who we suspect are doing so. Please do all of us a favor and be safe first!
The bungee sleeves are constructed of high perfomance spandex, 1.5" square-weave webbing, and industrial velcro. It fully encloses and protects the bungees from damage and includes a high impact plastic mini-thimble to help extend the life of your bungees.
Limiter/safeties are both your protection and your weight gauge. Constructed of 1" tubular nylon webbing cut and sewn to the exact length to prevent the bungees from passing their allowable maximum enlongation. When using the bungee with an aerialist for the first time, test the bungee from a safe position where it can be stretched until it lifts the aerialist slightly off the floor. If you the limiter engages during this process (i.e does the lifting), you need to add additional bungees. Additionally, in case of catastrophic failure within the bungee pack itself, these will also prevent freefall. Limiters are not designed to be used in any other fashion except with the OTV Bungee packs.
