Overview
- A widely shared video of the June 13 jump shows 21-year-old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas being carried to the bridge edge and thrown while the safety rope remained coiled on the platform.
- Police have arrested six people in the inquiry, including three instructors — Luis Felipe Feliciano Egoroff, Maicon Fernandes Cintra and Vitor de Freitas Goncalves — who face homicide with eventual intent charges.
- Investigators say the GoPro the victim wore is missing and have executed court-authorized search-and-seizure warrants for phones and electronic devices while probing possible hiding or deletion of footage.
- Limeira authorities have blocked access to the disused Ponte do Esqueleto and begun steps to demolish or remove the viaduct to stop informal, unregulated rope-jump operations at the site.
- Industry representatives and police say the group that ran the jump lacked registration, certified riggers and basic safety checks, and the case could trigger criminal, administrative and regulatory actions to curb rogue extreme-sports events.
