Overview
- Seventeen-year-old Vera Mol leapt from a bridge in Cantabria during a 2015 group session before she was properly secured.
- The instructor reportedly shouted “no jump,” which the court said could have been heard as “now jump,” triggering the fatal mistake.
- She was attached to the rope but not fixed to the bridge, and no safety line was used during the ascent, according to testimony.
- Judges criticized the operator for skipping ID checks and parental consent for the under-18 group and for failing to provide a safe waiting area.
- The instructor was accused of causing death and the company director faced negligent homicide proceedings, while Flowtrack called it an accident and acknowledged a misunderstanding.
