Two men were detained in Brazil after a 21-year-old woman died during a bungee jump when staff allegedly launched her from a bridge without attaching the safety cord, authorities said.
The victim, identified as Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, fell approximately 40 meters (131 feet) from the Ponte do Esqueleto, or Skeleton Bridge, in the municipality of Limeira in São Paulo state on June 13. Witnesses told police that organizers failed to secure the safety rope before she was pushed from the platform. Video of the incident circulating on social media appears to show the rope lying on the ground moments after the jump.
