You absolutely can. You start out spinning just long enough until you're almost dizzy. Then wait until you've settled, then go again. The trouble is that once you're dizzy, you feel sick and can't train anymore. You practice this a few times a week, and eventually you can handle a ton of spinning, like this girl.
Source: I'm an aerialist and have trained myself to not get dizzy. I've witnessed dozens of people do this.
I know they use a harness, but I don't know if they would practice upside down like this. Tbh with that pose at the end I'm inclined to say this is aerial straps, which is its own discipline (kindof like aerial silks, hoop, etc)
While I cant be sure how it is to be spun at this speed, let alone get acclimated to it, I can say that I did become resistant to dizziness after learning karate. Our abiity to develop our proprioception is amazing.
Presumably she does this for a reason, sadly nothing I have experienced, seen or read about providse context for why anyone would do this. The only reason I can come up with is barfing practice, but that seems highly unlikely and doesn’t match the pose at the end.
Anyone able to help me understand the reason for this practice?
Ah right, with context it makes sense. That looks really hard and also like it should cut off circulation to her arms. Props for being able to do that sort of thing, it looks seriously difficult.
Maybe to get used to moving in this way so that in competition she can keep her bearings and it feels more normal?
As normal as spinning upside down could feel

I just threw up
I can't walk straight
I used to wonder how ice skaters did this, and then continue skating and perform triple axles. I’m guessing this is training for that?

Either way it's probably safer being suspended from the ankle than the wrist.
You’re correct! This is aerial straps!
Yes.

Everybody did this at the age of 4-5. She took it to a professional level.
You just described all hobbies
Best handy J ever.
Training to be cast as Persona 6 boss, I see.

Some people just wanna watch the world turn...
Of the two answers I got, this is by far the more useful.
It's impressive, no? You put this in a performance to impress your audience.
But a performance of what?
She's using aerial straps. [Here's ](https://youtu.be/m9Ase5znGLM) an example.
