RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AFP)—A young woman died in Brazil after being launched off a bridge for a rope jump without a safety cord, police said Sunday.
In videos of the Saturday accident circulating online, two men hoist the 21-year-old above their heads and launch her off Skeleton Bridge, in the interior of Sao Paulo state, while onlookers realise there is no safety mechanism attached and shout, “Guys, the cord!”
“The safety equipment was not properly secured at the time of the jump. The victim did not survive the fall,” police said in a statement to AFP.
