Be respectful and constructive when commenting or asking for further information . Communicate concern instead of derision — offer possible solutions , not insults .
3 / 4 /
Be open to other opinions . Be objective and ready to listen to others without being defensive .
Remember that the technology , materials , and practices used in rigging are continually evolving . Be ready to change your own practices to improve and maintain high safety standards . Let ’ s keep our egos in check !

Above all , be patient and supportive of each other .
It ’ s all too easy to get into a mindset of “ I ’ ve been doing it this way for ___ number of years and that ’ s that ,” but that can cause us to miss a vital new piece of information or development that can make our practices even better . Remember that we can always learn more is the best way to keep us humble enough to accept new ideas and to be patient and respectful with others who are newer to the field and just starting that learning process themselves . That respect is critical for building greater community between aerial students , instructors , professional performers , and professional riggers .
