The tragedy that occurred in Brazil, where a 21-year-old woman died after being thrown from a bridge without being properly secured to the safety system, has put the company Entre Cordas under scrutiny. In recent hours, old footage showing the way the group carried out its extreme jumps has begun to go viral.
In several of the promotional videos, participants can be seen being propelled into the void through forceful launches and flashy maneuvers, while the instructors sought to turn the experience into a spectacle. The images, which were once seen as a display of adrenaline, now cause concern after the fatal accident became known.
Brazilian authorities are investigating whether there were failures in the safety protocols and whether there was negligence on the part of the organizers. According to the preliminary investigation, the victim was allegedly thrown from the bridge without the safety rope being properly connected to her harness.
The circulation of these videos has intensified the debate over safety standards in high-risk activities and over the limits between offering an extreme experience and guaranteeing the protection of those who take part.
