Horrifying footage showed the moment a woman plunged to her death from a bridge in Brazil after staff allegedly forgot to attach a safety cord.The 21-year-old woman has been named as model Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, who had previously shared excited posts on social media about her planned rope jump.The jump was from a 40-meter-high bridge in Limeira, a city in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo.Ms Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas can be seen standing with her arms out in a crucifix-type position, with three instructors lifting her into the air and carrying her to the edge, before launching her off the bridge.As Ms Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas was thrown off the bridge, horrified witnesses can then suddenly be heard shouting in Portuguese: “The rope, people, the rope!”The safety cord was not attached and was instead lying on the bridge, completely unattached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Images had also been shared to her Instagram account just minutes before the fatal incident, with her showing her wristbands for the jump.One of the posts saw her share a message which would be become harrowing following the fatal incident at the Ponte do Esqueleto.In the post, she wrote: “Who was the crazy person who let me come jump off a bridge?”Emergency services were called following the incident, which happened at the Skeleton Bridge Trail, but tragically there was nothing they could do, and Ms Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas was pronounced dead at the scene.Following the tragedy, her body was taken to the Legal Medical Institute, and local authorities have now launched an investigation, including whether criminal charges can be brought.Local media reports have said that six people were arrested at the scene, and that two of those had tried to run away following the tragic incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
