Terrifying Video Captures Moment 21-Year-Old Woman Is Sent Off Bungee Platform without Safety Cord
Police say the rope was never attached, and three instructors face homicide charges after the 21-year-old fell about 40 meters.
- On Saturday, June 13, 2026, 21-year-old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas died after falling 40 meters from the Skeleton Bridge in Limeira, Brazil, when operators failed to secure her safety line before launch.
- Witnesses captured video showing employees carrying Rodrigues de Freitas to the platform's edge while the safety rope lay coiled unused on the ground nearby. Bystanders shouted, "Guys, the rope!" as she was launched.
- Police detained six individuals associated with operator Entre Cordas; three men aged 27, 32 and 42 were arrested on charges of homicide with eventual intent after attempting to flee into nearby woods.
- Defense lawyer Rafael Gomes dos Santos argued that rope jumping "is not regulated, but it is also not prohibited" in Brazil, even as the operator deleted its Instagram account and WhatsApp group shortly after the tragedy.
- Limeira City Hall announced plans to sue the federal government, claiming officials had previously warned that the abandoned Skeleton Bridge lacked necessary access controls and safety infrastructure before the fatal incident.
