Woman killed in Brazil after bungee crew failed to attach cord

The 24-year-old paid to film the jump from an abandoned bridge; witnesses say staff tried to flee after realizing the mistake

ynet | 15:14

A 24-year-old woman was killed Saturday during a bungee jump in Brazil after she was sent off a bridge without being properly attached to safety equipment, according to CNN Brasil.

The fatal accident occurred at Ponte do Esqueleto, or “Skeleton Bridge,” an abandoned structure linking the cities of Limeira and Cordeirópolis in São Paulo state. The bridge, unused for about three decades, has become a popular destination for adrenaline seekers despite lacking official oversight or safety regulation.

According to witnesses, the woman plunged about 35 meters after staff failed to properly connect her safety rope.

One eyewitness who visited the site with her partner told CNN Brasil that the tragedy appeared to stem from basic negligence.
“It was irresponsible on the part of the team,” she said. “Three people jumped before her, and this time they didn’t check the rope. This wasn’t just an accident. It was something basic.”
The woman reportedly paid about $290 for the jump .  .  .

You only jump once from a plane without a parachute.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
