FINAL MOMENTS CAUGHT ON CAMERA: 21-Year-Old Woman Dies After Alleged Safety Failure During Bridge Swing
FINAL MOMENTS CAUGHT ON CAMERA.
She smiled, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
Seconds later, the 21-year-old was falling to her death.
Now, a shocking question is haunting investigators: Did a critical safety failure turn a dream adventure into a fatal nightmare?
THIS IS DIFFICULT TO EVEN COMPREHEND.
A 21-year-old woman died when staff at a bungee-jumping event pushed her from a bridge — WITHOUT her being strapped to a safety rope, dropping her about 130 feet into a ravine.
You see in this photo no rope attached to her legs.
The operators did not notice and, tragically, apparently neither did she.
reports the incident occurred on the “Skeleton Bridge” in Limeira, in the state of São Paulo.
Six people connected to the event have been taken into custody: five men and one woman.
Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas was carried onto the platform by two men, then shoved from the edge, according to a video of the fall that surfaced online, as bystanders yelled that she didn’t have a rope tied to her.
She plummeted some 40 meters into a canyon. Medics pronounced her dead at the scene.
ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.
