New Delhi. A painful incident that happened during an adventure activity in Brazil has shocked people. 21 year old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas had come to experience the exciting jump, but within a few seconds this journey became the last journey of her life.
According to reports in British newspaper The Sun, he was released from a height at a bridge jumping site in the Limeira area of Sao Paulo state, but his safety line was reportedly not attached. The girl fell about 40 meters (130 feet).
Scary moment captured in video
In the viral video on social media, it can be seen that preparations for the jump are going on. As soon as the girl was released, after a few seconds the people present there started screaming. According to eyewitnesses, only then did people realize that the necessary safety rope was not attached. By that time it was too late.
Last post made before the accident
According to media reports, Maria had shared her pictures on social media some time before the accident. He had written humorously that who is allowing him to jump from the bridge. After the accident, this post quickly went viral on social media and many people described it as heart-breaking.
Fiance was also present on the spot
According to reports, Maria’s fiance was also present at the spot. After the accident, his health deteriorated and he had to be given medical aid. The local police has arrested six people in the case. Investigating agencies are trying to find out how such a huge lapse in security procedures happened and who was responsible.
Questions raised on adventure tourism
This incident has raised serious questions on the security arrangements of adventure sports and adventure tourism. Experts say that there are many layers of security checks in activities like bungee or rope jumping. In such a situation, if the final inspection of the equipment is not done properly then the consequences can be very dangerous. After the incident, people expressed deep sorrow on social media. Many users said that following safety rules should not be optional but mandatory for adventure sports companies. One user wrote – Just one mistake changed the whole world of a family. Another said – Safety cannot be compromised in the name of adventure.
A question in everyone’s mind
Maria’s death has once again raised the same question – is there a need to make safety rules more stringent in adventure sports? Because sometimes just a few seconds of carelessness takes away someone’s entire life.
