How Does a Typical Dinner Event Work?
Guests will arrive 45 minutes before “take off” where they are taken through the registration process. Guests are then taken individually to their seats where they are fastened in their seats by a three point safety belt. Once all the safety checks are complete starters are served and we “take off” for our first session in the sky, this lasts approximately half an hour and the table is then brought back to ground where guests are welcome to take a comfort break. The main course and dessert is then loaded and we once again take off where guests will enjoy a further hour in the sky enjoying their main meal and mouth watering dessert.
Is it safe?
Sky Events is approved by German Safety Standards and is TUV certified. It also includes the following safety achievements:
- Department of Labour certification/authorization.
- Only Qualified Staff will be involved in the operation of each event/seating.
- An Experienced Supervisor will take responsibility for each event/seating and be the final signatory before and after each event/seating on a details and thorough checklist.
- A large ground clearance area, a minimum of 12m x 18m will be cordoned off and patrolled by experienced staff at all times during operation and is inaccessible to unauthorized parties at all times.
- Nobody except staff will be allowed within this area unless supervised by an experienced and qualified staff member of Sky Events.
- Guests will be escorted to an allocated seat by the Supervisor/Staff member and then secured by “4 point safety belts” the CANNOT be released by the guest or guest next to him/her. (It is NOT physically possible to reach the release while fastened into the seat).
- A Supervisor will accompany all guests to a height decided on and will supervise safety during the “flight”.
- The Supervisor will be in communication with the “ground crew” by means of two-way radio as well as hand signals if necessary.
