Watch: Brazilian woman dies after Bungee Jump workers push her off bridge without safety cord; video showing final moments before freefall jump goes viral

A spine-chilling incident surfaced in Brazil where a 21-year-old woman died after being thrown from a height of about 30 to 35 meters without being properly attached to the safety equipment, as reported by CNN Brazil. The fatal accident occurred on Saturday (June 13, 2026) at Ponte do Esqueleto, or “Skeleton Bridge,” an abandoned structure linking the cities of Limeira and Cordeirópolis in São Paulo state, when the victim was practicing a "rope jump" activity on the Ponte do Esqueleto Trail in Limeira.

Employees of the company Entre Cordas, which provides assistance to those practicing the sport, failed to attach the rope that should have secured the young woman, who was then thrown into free fall. Videos showing the final moments before the tragedy occurred surfaced on social media, showing three people pushing her off the bridge and immediately realizing that the safety rope was not attached.



According to local media reports, six people were taken to the local police station, of whom three remained in custody. People at the scene reportedly performed CPR until the arrival of the SAMU (Mobile Emergency Care Service) team, but death was confirmed at the scene due to multiple traumas, CNN Brazil reported.

The incident remains under investigation. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found two individuals near the victim, the outlet reported, citing a police report. The individuals were questioned, but when one of the officers stepped away to assist with the rescue, they fled into a wooded area, prompting a request for backup from additional patrol units. An aircraft was also deployed to aid in the search.

Suspects allegedly pushed the victim from the bridge without conducting the necessary checks or ensuring the use of required safety equipment. Available evidence suggests the suspects seemed to have accepted the risk that their actions could result in death, which ultimately occurred.

Authorities also noted that the site has a documented history of serious accidents, including previous fatal incidents, raising further concerns about the lack of adequate safety measures.
