- Maria Eduarda Rodrigues was thrown off Skeleton Bridge without a safety rope during a bungee jump in Limeira, Brazil.

Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas had signed up for what she thought would be an exciting bucket-list adventure in Limeira, São Paulo, Brazil.
The incident resulted in the fatality of the 21-year-old woman and the arrest of three individuals, who are under investigation for homicide with implied malice.
A video taken this weekend shows Maria being hurled over the cliffside of Skeleton Bridge and falling 130 feet (40 meters).
After she was thrown off the bridge, a witness could be heard desperately shouting, “Guys, the rope!” pointing out that the victim, a physical education and sports management student, had been thrown without a safety cord attached to her body.

Moments before the tragedy on Saturday morning (June 13), the 21-year-old took to her Instagram Stories to share a photo of the bridge.
She jokingly wrote over the image, “Who was the crazy person who let me jump off a bridge???”
