Woman d!es after workers forget to attach safety rope and push her off 40-meter bridge (Video)

A woman fell to her de@th after staff allegedly forgot to attach a safety cord before she bungee jumped from a bridge in Brazil.
.....
Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas was thrown from the Ponte do Esqueleto, known as Skeleton Bridge, in the municipality of Limeira, São Paulo, while participating in a bungee jump on Saturday, June 13, according to the Brazilian outlets G1 and Folha de Pernambuco.
A video posted on social media showed the moment that de Freitas, 21, was carried by staff members toward the edge of the bridge and thrown over while wearing a helmet, per the outlets.
After she fell, a witness filming pointed to the rope left behind on the ground and shouted, “Guys, the rope!”
Witnesses alleged to Brazil’s Military Police that de Freitas was thrown without a rope and fell about 40 meters (131 feet), per G1. A police helicopter was called for rescue, but de Freitas died at the scene.
De Freitas, a physical education and sports management graduate, had posted images on social media from the bridge showing the event, its setup, equipment, and other participants; among the pictures were pictures of a banner for Entre Cordas, the business responsible for the bungee jumping, according to reports.
“Who was the crazy person who let me jump off a bridge?” she allegedly joked on her Instagram Stories before the fatal fall, O Globo reported.

Her fiancé became ill when he arrived at the scene of her death and had to be taken to an emergency room, according to the outlet.
Six people; five men and one woman have been arrested in connection with de Freitas’ fatal fall, according to the outlet, per O Globo.
Three of them were arrested at the scene and charged with homicide.
“It was a team there that wasn’t regulated; they didn’t even have authorization to be there,” Delegate Andrea Dantas Levy reportedly told the outlet. “They ended up organizing this event, and,” he contended, “this fatality happened today, in my perception, due to a failure to verify and supervise the placement of the rope on the victim’s jump.”
