Practicing pole dancing in living room sounds like a good idea until you make it rain and flood your apartment

If you want to get better at something, you have to practice. It's how you develop skills, even those of the pole dancing variety.

You're not going to hop on the pole and be elite without some effort. That's just not how it works, even the best of the best have to work at it.

A Houston woman decided that she would work on her pole dancing skills from the comfort of her living room. What better place to get in some extra work? I can't think of any.

She put up a pole, tossed on a tutorial video, started recording her practice session, and got to work. Then, out of nowhere, the pole slipped and struck a sprinkler head in the ceiling of her apartment.

Asha Gilbert had accidentally made it rain inside of her apartment. The sprinkler poured water down from the ceiling and flooded her apartment.

"I went into shock and was completely stunned," she said, reports FOX 26 Houston. "My main concern was for my dog."

The video shows her running out of the apartment as the water continued to rain down. She and the dog reportedly made it out before the fire department arrived on the scene.

It's a good time to remind everyone that there are risks associated with pole dancing. One of those risks if you're on a pole you've installed in your own living room is slippage.

Before you hit the pole with everything you have, you should really double-check that the pole itself is ready for action. You don’t want to rip a sprinkler head out of your ceiling or have the pole carelessly toss you to the ground.

Neither of those outcomes will help you become better on the pole and that's why you have the tutorial video on and the pole installed in the living room in the first place.

Be careful out there as you work on those pole dancing skills in the comfort of your own living room and, by all means, don't let a little setback keep you from improving your skills.
