Acro has real risks, and our culture matters. These are the shared expectations for safety, consent, inclusion, accountability, and care in our community. Please read them before you join a jam, class, or community practice.

Safeword: Down

Immediate exit, no hesitation

Use the safeword "Down" anytime you need to come out of a position immediately.
Once "Down" is called, the trick is over.
No questions. No hesitation. Everyone responds immediately.
Bases and spotters bring the flyer safely to the ground as quickly as possible.
You can try again after a proper check-in and understanding of what went wrong.

Safety First

Be a spotting legend

Acro has real risks. We cannot remove them, but we can reduce them together.
Spot properly, communicate clearly, and look out for each other.
Your safety is our concern, but your responsibility.
Listen to your body. Say no early, not late.
You choose what feels right for you.

Consent & Boundaries

Clear is kind

Set and communicate your boundaries, limits, and needs.
You are not expected to play with everyone.
Respect boundaries. Always.
A no is a complete answer.
Accept the answer you get without convincing, pressure, or manipulation.

No Sexual Harassment

Zero tolerance

No unwanted advances.
No inappropriate comments, touching, or behaviour.
If it is not clearly welcomed, it is not okay.

Sober Practice

Fly sober, land safely

No acro under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
This is about safety for you and everyone around you.

Respect & Inclusion

Everyone is welcome, good vibes only

All bodies, genders, and backgrounds are welcome.
No racism, sexism, body shaming, or exclusion of any kind.
Be mindful of your words.
Say "I am not able to base this safely" instead of "You are too heavy".
Be respectful of experience levels and power dynamics.
If you have more experience, lead with care.

Hygiene & Presentation

Close contact, keep it clean

Acro is physical and involves close contact. Come clean and prepared.
Be mindful of your hair, breath, smell, sweat, and nails.
Wear well-fitted clothing that covers all private parts.

Community & Accountability

We look out for each other

If something feels off, speak up.
Support each other and help keep the space safe.
Jam ambassadors or members of the Network of Care initiative may step in if needed.
This can include a conversation, a warning, or being asked to leave.

Create a space where people feel safe, included, and excited to be here.

That is what makes a real acro legend.
