A 21-year-old woman died on Saturday, June 13, 2026, after being launched from a 40-meter platform during a rope-jump activity in Limeira, in the interior of Sao Paulo state, Brazil.
She was not attached to any safety rope when she went over the edge.
Brazilian outlets describe the activity as a rope jump, a bungee-style platform jump from a high structure.
The incident happened at Ponte do Esqueleto, a bridge and trail area known locally for extreme sports.
The footage circulating online is graphic. Consider that before viewing the post below.

What makes this case so disturbing is that the fatal error appears visible on camera. People can be heard shouting about the rope after the woman was already in the air.
Translated from Portuguese, VEJA carried the core police account:
A 21-year-old woman died this Saturday, the 13th, after being launched from a height of 40 meters during a rope jump in Limeira, in the interior of Sao Paulo. She was thrown by instructors without being attached to any safety rope, as shown in a video circulating on social media.
The scenes are shocking. The tragic case happened at Ponte do Esqueleto, on a trail known for extreme sports.
The recording shows someone shouting, “people, the rope,” right after the woman was thrown from the platform. The error is visible: besides the video showing her without the equipment, it later appears on the ground.
Two men fled the scene but ended up arrested after being located in the woods by an Aguia helicopter team. In total, six were detained by Military Police.
According to police, at the moment of the jump, “the correct fastening of the safety equipment had not been carried out,” which resulted in a fall from a great height and multiple trauma.
The Fire Department and SAMU responded, but her death was confirmed at the scene.
The same Brazilian reports say six people were detained after the incident, including two men who allegedly fled into a wooded area before being found by a police helicopter team.

UTV News, republishing and expanding g1’s reporting, said the victim was carried by employees onto the platform before she was launched, and that voices in the video then shouted “the rope” and “people, the rope.”
The same report said the victim’s fiance was present and became ill after the tragedy, requiring medical attention.
Translated from Portuguese, UTV News reported that the operator still had future jump dates advertised:
The company responsible for the rope-jump activity that resulted in the death of a 21-year-old woman this Saturday, the 13th, in Limeira, Sao Paulo, charged R$180 for the activity. The group also had five other dates scheduled for the coming months.
When contacted for comment, the report received an automatic message with Entre Cordas’ jump schedule. The content listed future events in Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais, as well as the amounts charged to participants.
For Ponte do Esqueleto, where the accident happened, there were spots for Friday, the 12th, and Saturday, the 13th, for R$180. The company also advertised a new date at the location for July 11.
In images from the accident recorded Saturday, employees appear wearing shirts with the brands Entre Cordas and Ih Voei. g1 contacted the companies but had not received a response by the latest update.
O Globo confirmed the same core event, reporting that the woman died after being launched without ropes during a rope jump in the interior of Sao Paulo.
According to police, a witness said the team failed to attach the safety equipment before sending her off the platform.
That is the kind of basic step that separates an adrenaline activity from a death. Six people were detained while authorities determine who was responsible for the safety check that allegedly never happened.
