I Was a Disney on Ice Performer For the Day, and Here's What Happened

Much like the silks, the aerial straps are for cast members to perform stunts above the ice. In Disney on Ice Mickey's Search Party, the scene is set in The Little Mermaid, with Ariel and Eric performing to "Kiss the Girl." The aerial straps are one of the hardest things I've ever attempted to do, and I've run two half-marathons! You're hanging by your wrists as you swing and glide through the air. You need an immense amount of upper-body strength and stamina to be able to do this.
