One person arrested, named Luis Felipe, told local police that he and the instructors were paid around $34 per jump. He stated that they didn’t have any set responsibilities when people were jumping, and that equipment checks were carried out jointly.

Moreover, when asked about who was responsible for the final safety check before 21-year-old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas jumped, he told police, “I can’t remember.”

Six people arrested after woman was thrown to her death without safety rope

One organizer, Luis Felipe, who said he earned around $34 per per jump, told local police that the team members didn’t have any set responsibilities during the jump. Moreover, equipment checks were carried out “jointly.”

Another suspect, named Maicon Fernandes Cintra, reportedly gave police the same answer. Per People Magazine, a total of six people have been brought in for questioning in connection with de Freitas’ fatal fall, a representative for the São Paulo government confirmed.

Three men aged 27, 32, and 42 were arrested at the scene and charged with homicide with implied malice.

“It was a team there that wasn’t regulated; they didn’t even have authorization to be there,” Delegate Andrea Dantas Levy told G1, per People. “They ended up organizing this event, and this fatality happened today, in my perception, due to a failure to verify and supervise the placement of the rope on the victim’s jump.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Maria Eduarda’s family. Rest in peace.
