Terrifying Video Captures Moment 21-Year-Old Woman Is Sent Off Bungee Platform without Safety Cord
Police say the instructors launched the 21-year-old student without attaching the safety rope, and all three now face homicide charges.

- The Skeleton Bridge, an unofficial extreme sports location in Limeira, has become the focus of growing scrutiny over safety standards, as observers argue the operation reflects a broader pattern of prioritizing spectacle over participant safety.
