flying trapeze
Circus swing act
A flying trapeze is a circus apparatus consisting of a horizontal bar suspended by two ropes, used by aerialists who swing through the air, often releasing to perform acrobatic maneuvers before being caught by a partner on another trapeze.
The performer builds momentum by swinging, then executes flips, twists, or somersaults in midair.
She trained for years before attempting the flying trapeze without a net.
The act requires precise timing between the flyer and catcher.
