Aerials should be done only with the flyer's permission UNLESS it's a
regular partner who Follows a recognizable Lead.

Aerials should not be done by those who haven't learned how to do
them because they're, duh-uh, dangerous.

Aerials should not be done when other dancers are near in order avoid
injuring them (I once got hit by a flyer's foot).

One of our local Leaders is an unusually large man who often lifts
his partners but I'm sure they never feel an instant of insecurity.

My former ex-girlfriend was in her 60s when she was thrown overhead
by a stranger. She said "it was over before I knew what was
happening" but the Leader was so skillful, putting her down very
gently, that all went well.
