FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FlyDining Clarifies Misinformation and Announces Safety Enhancements
San Juan, PR – March 3, 2025 – FlyDining, the renowned elevated dining experience in San Juan, is addressing misinformation surrounding the February 23, 2025 incident and reaffirming its commitment to guest safety.
Correcting False Reports
Due to the unique and visually striking nature of our dining experience, FlyDining has been the subject of sensationalized media coverage, leading to the spread of false and misleading information. We want to clarify the following key facts:
- There were 13 guests onboard at the time of the incident, and none reported any injuries.
- Local authorities, including the police, arrived on-site and confirmed there were no injuries.
- There was no broken nose, no broken cables, and no structural failure.
- The platform carrying guests remained fully secure at all times.
- The roof, which is independent from the guest platform, made brief contact with the crane boom.
- Initial reports incorrectly stated that no guests were on board, and while this mistake was later corrected, misinformation continues to spread.
What Happened
A wind stabilizer rope, which is secured to the ground to provide additional comfort by reducing movement from the wind, became detached. As a result, the roof structure—an independent component separate from the guest platform—made brief contact with the crane boom.
At no point was the platform's stability or guest safety affected, and all safety systems functioned as designed.
Safety & Operational Review
The Fire Department has temporarily paused operations while standard inspections are conducted to confirm that no damage occurred. As part of our proactive approach to guest safety, we are implementing additional safety measures to ensure this does not happen again.
FlyDining will be modifying the height of future rides to eliminate any possibility of roof contact with the crane boom.
FlyDining's Proven Safety Record
Since opening in San Juan, FlyDining has successfully completed over 1,500 rides without any incidents. This isolated event does not reflect the company's impeccable track record of safety and operational excellence.
Commitment to Transparency
FlyDining remains dedicated to providing a safe, unique, and memorable dining experience for all guests. We encourage media outlets to verify facts before publication and invite anyone with concerns to contact us directly.
