A 21-year-old woman, Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, has died following a rope-jump activity at the Skeleton Bridge in Limeira, São Paulo, Brazil.
According to reports being reviewed by investigators, authorities are examining whether proper safety procedures were followed before the jump, including whether the participant was correctly secured to the main safety system.
Emergency responders were called to the scene, but she did not survive her injuries. The incident has since prompted a formal investigation into operational practices, staff responsibilities, and equipment handling at the site.
