Year-old thrown 130 feet to her death in tragic rope jump accident buried in Brazil

A 21-year-old woman, Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, died after two rope jumping instructors launched her from Ponte do Esqueleto, a former bridge in Limeira, without securing her to safety equipment. The fall was about 40 meters (130 feet); onlookers screamed as she was carried away, while instructors wore harnesses attached to a security rope. Three men were arrested, and officials opened an investigation that could lead to murder charges. The Limeira City Council plans to file a complaint against the federal government over security gaps around the bridge, which sits on federal land despite known risks.
