Last year, we featured a Belgian company that organizes dinners in the sky, with a table, chairs and guests suspended from a crane. The concept made quite a splash and, over the past year, has travelled across Europe and attained TÜV certification—one of the toughest seals of security.
Recently, Dinner in the Sky added a gravity-defying element to the mix: a concert in the air. Suspended from a second crane, a violinist and a pianist—playing a grand piano, no less—performed for 22 guests who were dangling from their own crane several metres away. What’s next: acrobats, dancers, a play? Other suggestions for use of a twin crane include unveiling a new car model, launching an advertising campaign or hosting a fashion show. Anything presented at a height of 50 meters (164 feet) is bound to make a more lasting impression than it would on terra firma. This is the experience economy, after all ;-)

I think it's great idea, but not practically safe. There are limits to creativity and human beings should respect that and take it very seriously.
A great idea is one thing and risking the lives of people are another..

Excuse me, which way to the loo?
BTW Sajjid, my dear genius friend, can you spell TUV?
It is an European company certifying safety. If you cared to look the guests are wearing belts...
And ummm, it's not risking OTHER people's lives now is it?
Wearing belts high up in the sky for the only reason why it isn't safe explains it.
Human beings need to understand something and that's there are limitations to excitement and entertainment. You always have some people to love it and some people just think otherwise.
Nobody is an authority on anything anyway, degrees, certification etc for example are man made fantasies on paper to prove to men what they want them to believe.
Eating food is very personal to a human being which definitely needs a peaceful and safe atmosphere.
Have a beautiful day Jacek...

I agree that the idea itself is great, but I'm not sure about the safety for both people up there and people being underneath the suspended table. I definitely won't like to hear something like "Oops, I dropped my knife, sorry" walking under this thing )))
