What was meant to be a high-adrenaline jump ended in tragedy when Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas died during a bungee activity at a site known as “Skeleton Bridge.” According to reports, the safety rope that should have protected her was not attached when she went over the edge.
The incident has now placed the people running the activity under police scrutiny, with questions focusing on who was responsible for the final safety check and whether the operation was properly licensed.
What Reportedly Happened At Skeleton Bridge
Maria had gone to the bridge for an extreme sports experience, the kind of activity that relies completely on trained staff, clear procedures, and properly checked equipment.
Witness accounts cited in reports say she was taken to the edge and pushed or released for the jump. Moments later, it became clear that the rope meant to secure her had not been connected.
