A 21-year-old woman died at Skeleton Bridge in Limeira, Sao Paulo, after staff threw her from the platform without attaching the elastic safety cord, according to local authorities.
Video circulating on social media shows team members taking her to the jump point before bystanders shout about the missing rope; emergency responders arrived but could only confirm her death.
Civil Police opened an investigation into the private company that organized the jump and will decide whether criminal charges are warranted; her body was sent to the Legal Medical Institute.
Her fiance, who was at the bridge, needed medical attention after learning she had died, and an Instagram post she shared minutes earlier read: "Who was the crazy person who let me come jump off a bridge???"
The Limeira City Council said it will file a complaint against the federal government, arguing the federal-area bridge had long-known safety risks and still lacked adequate protection and access controls.
