21-Year-Old Woman Dies After Being Pushed From Bridge Without Safety Rope During Bungee Jump

A tragic incident has gone viral on social media after a 21-year-old woman reportedly died during a bungee-jumping event in Brazil.

The victim, identified as Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, lost her life after allegedly being pushed from a bridge without being properly attached to a safety rope.

According to reports, the incident occurred at Skeleton Bridge in São Paulo State.

Authorities said six people — five men and one woman — were arrested as investigations into the incident commenced.

A video circulating online allegedly captured the moments leading up to the tragedy. In the footage, Maria could be seen being escorted onto the jumping platform by two men before she was pushed from the edge of the bridge.

Witnesses at the scene were reportedly heard shouting that she had not been connected to a safety rope before the jump.

Maria subsequently fell approximately 40 metres (130 feet) into a ravine below.

Emergency responders and paramedics were called to the scene, but she was pronounced dead.

According to eyewitness accounts provided to military police, event workers allegedly forgot to secure Maria to the safety rope before she was pushed from the platform.
