At the Skeleton Bridge, in Limeira, Brazil, a 21-year-old woman died on June 13 while bungee jumping. Three instructors are being held and face charges of homicide with eventual intent, after authorities found signs of serious failures in safety protocols that may not have been accidental.
Days after the tragedy, a woman posted a video of herself jumping from that same bridge. The recording sparked a wave of criticism: thousands of users accused her of taking advantage of other people’s pain to gain visibility. She has not spoken publicly about the reactions.
Others, however, point out that the bridge was not closed off and that no one can be condemned for engaging in a legal activity. Unforgivable recklessness or an individual right unfairly judged by social media?
