Pole dancing mishap leads to water damage in multiple apartment units
Duration: 0:26 Views: 4.0K Submitted: 3 weeks ago Submitted by:
A west Houston woman's pole dancing ended in disaster after the pole hit a fire sprinkler and flooded her and a neighbor's apartment.
Asha Gilbert was filming herself in her living room as she followed along to a pole dance workout tutorial.
Right as she begins spinning on the pole, the top dislodges from the ceiling and hits a fire sprinkler, causing water to shoot everywhere.
"Immediately, I'm in shock because I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, this cannot be happening to me,'" said Gilbert.
The pole was a recent addition to Gilbert's living room. She says a colleague had given it to her just three days prior.
"He was like, 'Hey, I have this pole, I'm giving it away. Do you want it?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, absolutely I want it.," Gilbert said.
But when she and a friend installed it, they didn't anchor it to the ceiling. Instead, they relied on the pole's natural tension between ceiling and floor.
"It wasn't even a thought that it could possibly hit the sprinkler," Gilbert said. "We were more worried about it hitting a wall."
Much of Gilbert's furniture was ruined, and she had to move to a different apartment.
She said the water also seeped into a downstairs neighbor's unit.
"I explained everything, and she was very, very cool and understanding, and I appreciated that," said Gilbert.

@HateEveryone you're being real patriotic... blacks are an integral part of American society. Face the facts that blacks are here and are always going to be here.

Damn. Doesn't she have enough material possessions. A dog, mounted TV, a couch, air conditioner. The point is... What must have been going through her head when she accepted the pole, when she was installing the pole, when she was looking up tutorials online. This grinds my gears.

Apartments need to explicitly ban those in the leases like they do with lava lamps and those upward halogen lights.

@tommix1 Blacks can't see the sprinklers or hear the smoke alarms beeps until they really go off.
