Rings - Cirque du Soleil Style!!!

The following is a clip of Cirque du Soleil artists modernizing the old school style swinging or "flying" rings.

Very dynamic, very acrobatic. Among other things you will have a chance to see double twisting double backs, triple layouts and I believe that I even saw a quintuple back (5 flips) thrown in there.

At approx the 2:26 mark you get a chance to see what a gymnast sees as they perform multiple twisting and multiple flipping dismounts. Good memories.

While I could not even come close to that...wow. I cannot be the only one thinking that it looks fun as hell.

That looks scary fun, especially the POV shot.

This is really cool! Why was this apparatus removed from modern gymnastics? Is it because it was more dangerous than the others?
