Anya Gilbert was practicing her pole dancing skills in her Houston apartment when the pole slipped, striking a sprinkler head in the ceiling and causing a flood. The incident occurred as Gilbert was following a tutorial video and recording her practice session.
The falling pole dislodged the sprinkler, which then released a continuous stream of water into the apartment. Gilbert described the event as shocking and stated her primary concern was for her dog, who was also in the apartment.
Video footage of the incident shows water pouring from the ceiling. Gilbert and her dog were able to exit the apartment before the fire department arrived on the scene. The water damage resulted in her apartment being flooded.
This incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with home pole dancing practice, particularly concerning the stability of the pole and its proximity to ceiling fixtures.
