Limeira Council to Sue Brazil After 21-Year-Old Dies in Bungee Jump Without Safety Rope

Summary
Limeira's city council said it will sue Brazil's federal government after a 21-year-old woman died Saturday in a bungee jump from Skeleton Bridge.
Police said the participant was sent off the bridge without the required safety rope attached during an event run by a private company; emergency crews pronounced her dead at the scene.
Six people were arrested over their alleged roles in organizing the jump, and video of the incident later circulated publicly.
The council said it had sought federal action on bridge safety since early 2025 without a response, arguing inspection, maintenance and access control of the federal site rest solely with Brasília.
