In the three months since this discussion happened, the balcony has collapsed - taking all six partying occupants on a very wet ride. (Queue Tom Petty!) Or they've moved on.

OP simply must mount a camera with a nice downward angle. Think of all the tiktok/youtube hits for that video - especially if someone's in it when it cuts loose!

How many of the AirBNB / hot tub / deck collapses have you heard about? TONS. I would never, ever, have a hot tub anywhere but on the ground.
Roofs around here are designed to hold a couple feet of wet snow. I'd worry less about that than a bolted on balcony.

How do you know the rooftop wasn’t designed and reinforced for the hot tub?
