Overview
- The 21-year-old woman fell about 40 meters during a rope-jump from the decommissioned Ponte do Esqueleto on June 13 after video showed staff pushing her while her safety line remained unfastened.
- Three instructors arrested at the scene remain in pretrial detention after they could not explain how the safety line came to be detached.
- Police executed three provisional arrest warrants on June 20 for other members of the event team on suspicion of suppressing evidence and won court orders to search and seize phones and electronic devices.
- Investigators say the victim's action camera is missing, an eyewitness told G1 they saw a team member remove the device after impact, and authorities are probing possible deletion of footage from the device.
- Safety experts have pointed to multiple operational failures such as missing redundant attachments and backup checks, and prosecutors will now examine whether the deaths were caused by negligence or by conduct that can be criminally charged.
