Spectacle or Serious Risk? This “Dinner in the Sky” event might look amazing, but from a safety and lifting operations perspective, it raises several red flags: • No visible secondary fall protection. Just being strapped to a seat isn’t enough at 50 meters. Where’s the backup? • No evident rescue plan. In critical lifts involving people, emergency descent or extraction is non-negotiable. • People treated as suspended loads. In industry, this is strictly prohibited without engineered controls and protection. • No exclusion zone below. People and vehicles under a suspended platform? That’s a major hazard. • Uncertified seating and anchor points. These chairs don’t look designed for fall arrest where’s the structural verification? 💡 Safety isn’t just about harnesses. It’s about planning, engineering and risk control. If you, as an safety professional, see this and just think “what a cool experience!”, it's time to review your principles of acceptable risk and operational tolerance. What do you think? Let me know! #SafetyFirst #CriticalLifts #WorkingAtHeights #HSE #LeadershipInSafety #DinnerInTheSky #RiskManagement #IndustrialSafety
