Some new business ideas are admittedly over the top. Here's one we couldn't resist – Dinner in the Sky.
Belgian Dinner in the Sky offers event organizers a new way to make their event highly memorable: a table, with 22 seated guests, is suspended from a crane. The specially built table is surrounded by chairs of the type usually found on roller coasters, with four-point seat belts. Hoisted 50 meters (164 feet) above ground, safety is a reasonable concern.
Safely buckled up and floating mid-air, guests can enjoy a meal or meeting, with three chefs, waiters, presenters and/or entertainers standing in an open area in the centre of the table. One of the company's first events (pictured above) was a dinner for 22 chefs, hosted by San Pellegrino.
Table, crane, logistic and security staff are available for EUR 7900 for an eight hour session, which can be organized anywhere a large crane can be placed.
Selling a thrilling edge and aerial view, this could be the next big thing for Sweet Sixteen parties and corporate brainstorming session. One for the events industry to look into! Just don't look down...

Err.. what about when you've had a few glasses of wine and you need to go to the toilet!
Or what if you drop your fork/knife.. does some unfortunate soul get a knife in the head..
I love the idea but it doesn't seem like it could work.
Hi Thomas,
I think the seatings are no more than two hours at a time. Otherwise people would get a bity antsy, yes :-)
As for dropping things -- the company requires use of a space no smaller than 35 x 15 m, and security staff keeps passersby out of harm's way.

At last, a sure fire way of keeping your kids in their seats... :-)
Please tell me you are selling this as the perfect BLUE SKY THINKING opportunity to businesses!
when it says you can have a dinner in the sky event "anywhere a large crane can be placed" - does that mean any city, region or county? or is it city specific?
I like the idea...altough I don't know the effect of the height on my appetite...
But why didn't they use a blimp? That would've been very cool!!! Again a great idea...but poor realisation.
And what if you need to go to the toilet after al that wine? ;)
I did this once. It was awesome!
Generally seen not a bad idea,
they could put a safety net or something under the table though, and when you get tipsy you could just let yourself fall in the net...hmmm sounds like fun...
he net would make things safer for sure
