This is what I don’t understand:
The rope that was on the ground, even assuming it was supposed to be attached to her, is not bungee rope.
I doubt it would be static line, so I presume it might be standard rock climbing rope, which has an elasticity of 6-10%.
What was the plan? To have her do a canyon swing of sorts?
Unless I’m missing the bungee portion of the rope.
At first I thought this story had to be fake. But now it’s been confirmed, and multiple video angles released.
I still don’t understand what the plan was, even assuming it was executed without criminal murderous negligence.
The workers are certainly to blame. But one thing you do whenever doing these things is double check yourself, and get the workers to explain to you exactly how you are attached, and all systems of redundancy.
Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas (21) tragically died after being thrown from the "Ponte do Esqueleto" (Skeleton Bridge) in Limeira, Brazil.
She, and likely the workers as well, thought she was bungee jumping but no one ever attached the bungee cord to her.
According to local media, 6 people have been detained by local police.
Bungee jump, or don't, accordingly...
