A 21-year-old woman died during a bungee-jump in Limeria, Brazil, after staff failed to attach her safety line, Israeli media report. Six employees were arrested.
New details have emerged in the fatal bungee-jump incident in Limeria, Brazil. At 22:21 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that a 21-year-old Israeli woman died after employees at the site reportedly forgot to attach her safety rope, and that six people were arrested for questioning. Updated footage now circulating on social media shows the fall from the 40-meter bridge; the earlier reports of the rope not being attached are confirmed by the video. The six employees have been taken into custody by local police.
The initial report, published at 22:21 Jerusalem, stated that the woman had died during a rope-jump activity and that workers had allegedly failed to fasten her safety line. Across several thread versions, the same basic facts have been reiterated: the victim is an Israeli citizen, the fall was from a height of 40 meters, and the operators' omission was the stated cause. The arrest of six workers was first reported in the same initial bulletin, and subsequent updates have maintained that detail without additional clarification on their roles or the charges.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening (23:12 Jerusalem), the incident is being investigated by local authorities in São Paulo state. The exact circumstances leading to the failure to attach the rope remain under investigation, and formal charges have not yet been published.
It remains unconfirmed whether the detained workers have been formally charged or what their specific responsibilities were at the jump site. No official statement has been released by Brazilian authorities or Israeli consular officials regarding the victim's identity or the investigation's status.
