Daily Mail: Heart-stopping moment diners nearly plunge to their deaths from 'restaurant in the sky''.
The terrifying incident occurred at a concept restaurant in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday as a group of guests sat suspended more than 100 feet in the air.
Footage taken by one diner showed the platform operated by FlyDining appear to buckle as guests screamed in horror high above the ground.

'In mid air at 100 feet the cable SNAPPED! In that moment, all I could do was pray and tell everyone to stay calm.'
In a separate video, another diner was seen pointing her camera toward the ground below and asking, 'Who signed me up for this?'
Within seconds, the clip showed, the platform became unstable.

FlyDining franchise owner Scott Zuckerman told El Nuevo Dia that there was no risk to the 13 guests or staff, who were safely lowered to the ground.
'A minor incident occurred where a safety rope used for wind protection was released, causing slight movement that led to the roof of the platform to make contact with the boom of the crane,' FlyDining Puerto Rico said in a statement posted on Instagram shortly after the incident Sunday.
'There were no structural failures or safety risks, and all systems remained secure.'
