@thesundaily: 15 June 2026: A day meant for adventure turned into a horrifying tragedy in Brazil. Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, 21, lost her life after being pushed off a bridge during a bungee jump, without the safety rope attached. The fatal incident happened at Ponte do Esqueleto (“Skeleton Bridge”) in São Paulo state, where she fell approximately 120-130 feet onto the ground below. Authorities arrested multiple people involved in operating the activity, while two suspects who fled into nearby woods were later captured with helicopter assistance. The incident has sparked outrage online and renewed concerns over safety standards at extreme adventure attractions, especially after reports that the bridge had a history of previous accidents. A devastating reminder that one overlooked safety check can cost a life. @thesundaily #theSun #theSunMY #BungeeJumpTragedy #BrazilNews #SafetyFirst
