Mine has only ever come down ONCE and it was with my boyfriend on it and it just slid off the ceiling, it didn't actually fall, so just check it and make sure it's actually straight or it will make funny noises and not swing right...
And to previous posters, I know this is an older thread, but I have the chrome and I'm not an actual stripper, so I have never used another pole before this one, is it really true that the chrome is slicker than usual? Why would they even make it, then? It irritates me, one of my biggest issues with poling is not being able to grip!
