The investigation into the death of Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas during a bungee jump in Brazil continues to add new chapters. In recent hours, an old video of the instructor implicated in the case went viral, showing him performing an extreme jump alongside a child, images that have sparked strong controversy on social media.
The footage began circulating just a few days after the fatal accident became known, in which a participant was launched from a bridge without being properly secured to the safety system. Now, many users are questioning the procedures used by the company and the type of activities they promoted.
The images show the instructor taking part in a high-risk maneuver accompanied by a minor, something that many internet users find disturbing considering the accusations and the investigation the organizing group is currently facing.
Although the video is not related to the fatal accident, its circulation has increased scrutiny of the company’s safety practices. Meanwhile, authorities continue investigating the circumstances that led to the young woman’s death and whether there was negligence in the organization of the activity.
The case has sparked an intense debate about the limits of extreme sports and the responsibility of those who operate them.
