“‘HOW DO YOU FALL 130 FEET… WITH NO BUNGEE CORD ATTACHED… AND STILL SURVIVE LONG ENOUGH FOR HELP TO ARRIVE?’” A 21-year-old student has miraculously survived a horrifying fall from an abandoned “Skeleton Bridge” in Brazil after staff allegedly failed to attach her safety rope before the jump. Witnesses say she stepped off the 130-foot platform with complete confidence, completely unaware that a fatal mistake had already been made above her.

A student who plunged to her death during a bungee jump with no cord in Brazil was still alive immediately after the fall, according to an off-duty nurse who rushed to save her.

Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, 21, was filmed being hurled off an abandoned 130-foot bridge near Sao Paulo on Saturday after careless staff apparently failed to attach the rope in a horrific video shared on social media.

Nurse Rayza Dias was at the scene at the time, and tried to scramble to her crash site at the base of “Skeleton Bridge,” where Rodrigues de Freitas had been taking part in an unlicensed bungee jump.

“I scraped my whole hand because there’s a steep slope down there and only one rope for us to climb down,” Dias told Brazilian TV network Domingo Espetacular on Sunday.

“It was all covered in mud. I kept going down, down, we walked all the way,” she said, adding that Rodrigues de Freitas was alive when she reached her.

“I even talked to her. I have a habit of joking and saying, ‘Nobody dies on my shift.’ And I told her, ‘Duda [Eduarda], nobody dies on my shift.’ Even though I wasn’t on my shift there,” she said, becoming emotional.

Three of the bungee jump operators were arrested and charged with homicide on Sunday after two of them made a break for it following the death and had to be tracked down with a military helicopter.
