A bungee instructor accused of throwing a young woman to her death with no jump cord has been pictured performing stunts with children.
Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, 21, died after she was launched from the Skeleton bridge in Limeira, Brazil, on Saturday, without the crucial bungee cord attached to her.
The three men who allegedly did not attach the security rope said previously they ‘can’t remember’ who was meant to place it on.
Bungee employees Luis Felipe Feliciano Egoroff, 32, Maicon Fernandes Cintra, 42, and Vitor de Freitas Goncalves, 27, allegedly didn’t clip on Maria’s safety rope.
