Overview
- The victims, identified as 25‑year‑old paratrooper Alberto Galletti and 26‑year‑old student Tiziana Accora, fell about 330 feet during a tandem jump from the Ponte Canale bridge.
- The operator reopened for the couple after they called asking to jump later than the planned closing time and the facility's routine video recording captured the fall.
- Police said the elastic bungee cord remained intact and investigators concentrated on the safety harness and the snap‑hooks that secured it to the bridge.
- Witnesses and officials reported that other jumps using the same cord and clips had been completed safely earlier that day, including a single jumper of about 90kg.
- The site was closed while police carried out an inquiry and the case has prompted renewed attention to harness and clip checks in tandem bungee operations.
