What Happened In Viral Bungee Jump Incident?
The 21-year-old was allegedly on a group adventure that included a bungee jump experience at Skeleton Bridge in Limeira, São Paulo. At least three staff members are on video holding Maria before two of them throw her off the bridge. She was not attached to a safety cord. Newsweek reports that Maria Eduarda Rodrigues fell at least 131 feet and was pronounced dead on the scene. Before her death, she reportedly posted on social media about the adventure, sharing photos of the company in anticipation of her bungee jump, and commented, “Who was the crazy person who let me jump off a bridge?” At least 6 people have reportedly been detained for questioning, according to translated local reports.
Social Media Is STILL Going In Over Bungee Jump Video
As mentioned, people have viewed the viral video of Maria’s shocking death countless times. But watching isn’t the only thing people are doing. Many are sounding off across social platforms about how the fatal bungee jump played out. At times, the criticism and blame is on the workers who did the lifting and tossing without a safety cord. But other times, the victim herself is catching heat for not triple checking her personal security. Meanwhile, some are cooking up conspiracy theories that have suggested Maria was intentionally killed. But overall, there’s a deep sadness for both the 21-year-old and her family as people are swearing off the extreme sporting activity. Reports have said that her fiancé became ill at the scene of her death and had to be transported to the hospital.
