International Acrobats Association’s Safety Rider
A standards project for circus performers, built around a contract addendum, an anonymous injury registry, and a plain-language injury protocol.
Field notes
The project’s main document is a contract annex for performers, with clauses on rigging inspection, rest, head injury, and the authority to stop unsafe work. Its companion injury guidance is designed for phone reading and printing, while the reporting route says it requires no name, email, or employer and will publish only aggregate information. The site identifies the Standard Rider as Version 1.0, still in draft, and invites working performers to review it.
