Bungee jumping instructors removed the GoPro camera from the body of a woman they threw off a 130ft bridge without any safety rope, a witness has claimed.
Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, 21, was seen in disturbing footage circulating online being hurled from the abandoned Skeleton Bridge in Limeira, São Paulo, on Saturday and falling to her death.
The aspiring physical education teacher had asked to be launched 130ft from the bridge 'aeroplane style', with two instructors hoisting her above their shoulders as she spread out her arms.

2. The camera was a 360-degree model provided by the company, not her own.
3. Video from bystanders shows her gripping it in one hand as the three instructors threw her off the platform.
4. Investigators did not recover it with her body at the base of the ravine.
5. A witness reported seeing a company employee approach her after the fall and remove the camera from her.
Two of the instructors have told police they had a “blackout” and can’t remember who was supposed to attach the rope.
The 21-year-old physical education graduate was the first customer to jump that Saturday morning at Ponte do Esqueleto, a disused railway bridge in rural São Paulo state. Three instructors lifted her into a horizontal “airplane” pose and threw her off. The rope sat coiled on the platform behind them, never clipped to her harness.
She fell 40 meters. An off-duty nurse climbed down to her through the mud and reached her while she was still breathing.…
