Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, aged 21, died after falling without a safety rope from the Ponte do Esqueleto (Skeleton Bridge) in Limeira, São Paulo, Brazil. According to radaronline.com, she fell 130 feet from the bridge. The incident occurred after staff members carried her to the edge and threw her over, following her request to be thrown airplane style with two instructors hoisting her above their shoulders.

A witness claims they saw a bungee jump employee take a GoPro or action camera from Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas's body after she fell. This account is corroborated by Brazilian police, who reported that the camera was visible in the victim's hands before the jump but is now missing. radaronline.com noted that several other people on the bridge had cameras rolling to document the jump.
