Witnesses say the woman made a dark joke moments before the jump, never imagining what would happen next. Those nearby initially believed something had gone wrong with the equipment—until the devastating truth emerged.

A bungee jumper horrifically plunged to her death after she was thrown off a bridge without a bungee cord — and the entire thing was captured in a shocking video.

Sickening video posted on social media shows Rodrigues de Freitas being carried toward the edge of the disused “Skeleton Bridge” and thrown off it by staff.

After she fell, a witness filming is heard pointing to the rope left behind on the ground and shouting, “Guys, the rope!”

A police helicopter was called but Rodrigues de Freitas died at the scene.

Her fiancé was watching as she plummeted to her death, according to police.

Rodrigues de Freitas, a physical education and sports management student, posted a message on her Instagram Story shortly before the jump.

“Who was the crazy person who let me jump off a bridge?” she wrote on her story in a joking tone, reported O Globo.
