There are 3 things that impress about this BESIDES her amazing performance. 1. The fact that she did that entire performance in a DRESS 2. there wasn't any kind of mat or landing equipment on the ground, because if she fell it woulda been over 3. There are weather conditions which make it hard to stay still Anyways beautiful performance, I pray she makes a full recovery.

[@belart7152]

i think it should not be allowed to perform without protection !!!!!!..thats just nuts

[@winnernotwiener]

Bel Art I do aerial silks without protection¿

[@kimora69]

[@carlygage7207]

Actually she died a year or so after this from a fall of I think 50 ft. Though I believe it was from faulty rigging

wise choice as I am arielst, myself..

[@andreaadams8074]

i hardly use a mat unless im on concrete etc..i usually just take a blanket as im usually practicing on the beach on the sand..i just make sure theres no rocks etc in the sand below me. i dunno why but i prefer no mats unless im really high offthe ground..i think its a great incentive to be grip sure or i dont do a climb etc..but thats just me.

I am so sorry to hear about her accident. A friend of mine just had a similar fall due to equipment failure. We do what we love with huge risk. I hope she has a full recovery.

She fell 2 years ago, 46 feet from her head

She was not ok. Brain injury, brain swollen, slurred speech, uneven eyes. But her personality remains positive.

[@aerial_silks_hoop]

To clear up misinformation about her fall, Karina fell about 45 feet during rehearsal. She was initially in a coma and then a wheelchair. She has recovered very well and can walk, talk, speak, etc. The fall wasn't due to faulty rigging. She was practicing a new trick.

[@devikanairjj4888]

Such and emotional piece so inspiring. One word for the dance would be perfection, like just wooooooooooow.The accident is shocking and heart breaking. Madly hoping she will recover.

when i first saw this i was around 11 or 12 and i was amazed by how beautiful it all was and i had wished i could do that. now 2 years later i watch this video at least 2 times a year and i'm trying to get my mom to put me in a silks class because i am so inspired by this. (it's pretty obvious i love this video and all the skill and strength that goes into aerial silks)

[@ItsLxyla-pewpew]

[@tullyangel1969]

I watch this every day because I think it is so amazing and I promise that is true!

[@sedona3663]

When I first saw this a few years ago I was in awe of how any human could do this. A few years of aerial classes later and this seems so simple to me. Most of these moves are so basic and manageable. Of course, she demonstrates the strength and control that I could only ever dream of having. Haha.
