Great to see some discussion regarding Pole Aria!
I think there may be a little confusion about friction only vs. poles with a pressure system that utiilize a bolt in mount, such as the Lil' Mynx. Pole Aria should not be used when the pole does not have some sort of bolt going into the ceiling. Additional security is needed as there will be additional loads at the top of the pole that regular pole dancing does not create. I am told that both x-pole as well as platinum stages have bolt in mounts available. We are not trying to force Lil' Mynx poles on anybody. We think this is a very beautiful addition to pole and want everybody to have the opportunity to enjoy it. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
