A 21-year-old woman dies after a bungee jump or similar bridge swing activity in Brazil, according to multiple reports. The incident occurs at “Skeleton Bridge” in Limeira, in São Paulo state. Several outlets describe video footage showing workers carrying or handling the participant before she is released and thrown over the edge. Reports say staff allegedly forget to attach a safety rope or cord before the woman is launched from a platform more than 40 meters above the ground.
Witness accounts included in the coverage suggest people noticed something was wrong shortly after the release and called out warnings, but the accident had already happened. Emergency responders arrive after the fall, but the woman later dies from her injuries.
The woman reportedly posted about the experience on social media shortly before the incident, and the death draws attention online and in news reports. Authorities open an investigation into the circumstances, including whether required safety procedures were followed and whether equipment and staff actions complied with operational guidelines. Several individuals involved in running the attraction are reported to be questioned while investigators review what led to the fatal mistake.
