A Brazilian bungee instructor, Luis Felipe Feliciano Egoroff, 32, is charged following the death of Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, 21, after a jump from a bridge known as the Skeleton Bridge. Reports describe that the victim fell from the structure without a harness, and that authorities allege she was thrown from the bridge in a fatal incident. Egoroff is said to have faced arrest after the death, and is accused of failing to secure proper safety equipment during the jump.
Both outlets also reference Egoroff’s prior activity, including social media videos showing bungee-jumping stunts. The articles describe footage of him performing a jump that involves a child shortly before the fatal incident, which has contributed to public attention surrounding his methods. Prosecutors and investigators are treating the case as a serious breach of safety procedure, and the charges relate directly to the circumstances of the woman’s fall and alleged lack of tethering or harness use. Investigations are ongoing, including review of available video material and the event’s safety setup.
