I am not going to post the footage of the 21-year-old woman who was thrown off a 40-meter bridge in Brazil by bungee jump workers who “forgot” to attach her safety rope. The poor kid died, and it’s a terrible tragedy.
The way it was filmed and the way the camera immediately goes to the rope, which is pooled on the ground, make me think that this was not an accident. That the young woman did not attempt to check whether the safety rope was attached, that she somehow managed not to know that she was not being secured, makes me suspect that she was drugged or unconscious.
This being Brazil means nobody is going to investigate, but the situation reeks of being engineered. There are a lot of sickos who pay for videos of gruesome situations and staged assaults or murders.
I don’t intend to look for the video but here is a Globo article about the incident

The woman actually paid extra to have the throw filmed, presumably so it could go on her social media. It also says that the moment they had thrown her, people started pointing to the rope and shouting.
The people who organized the throw are basically amateurs (although they have been doing it for a while) and will likely go to prison for years. There is no evidence this is anything but an accident, another example of risk-taking on camera that turned lethal (there are many such examples by now).
