24-year-old man dies after falling 50 meters while jumping from a pendulum without equipment in the interior of SP

A 24-year-old woman recorded her own final moments before a fatal fall from approximately 50 meters in the Limeira Ecological Park, in the interior of São Paulo. The case happened last Sunday (13), during the practice of a radical sport known as “rope jump”, or pendulum jump. Preliminary information confirmed by witnesses indicates that the participant jumped from the structure without the safety equipment being properly connected to her body.

Accountant Nayla Freitas, who was following the movement at the site for the first time, reported that the adventure package cost R$290 and guaranteed filming of the experience. The images captured by the responsible team’s own system show a crucial detail for the investigation. During the free-fall descent, the victim appears holding only the end of a rope with his right hand, demonstrating the lack of fastening to the seat belt.

Before the tragedy, the witness had watched three jumps performed by his own brother on the same structure. She identified the service operator as a company called “Entre Cordas”, which operated in the adventure sports segment. The group’s commercial profile on social media had a base of more than 80 thousand followers interested in extreme activities.

Witnesses report security breaches and panic during the fall

The moment of the jump generated immediate despair among the people who were on the bridge recording the activity, as soon as they noticed the absence of carabiners and retention ropes. The accountant classified the episode as a primary operational failure, ruling out the hypothesis of an unpredictable fatality. According to the witness’s report, the technical team neglected the mandatory double check of the couplings, a standard protocol in vertical sports, before authorizing the participant to launch into the void.

Soon after realizing the seriousness of the incident, the atmosphere on the viaduct became tense and those responsible for the organization tried to leave the place. The instructors’ escape was only thwarted because patrol vehicles quickly arrived at the address. Security agents blocked the exits and ensured that those involved remained available to the authorities for initial clarification.

Suspicion of hiding evidence and blocking communication channels

In addition to the physical evasion attempt, the organizers adopted digital measures that raised suspicions of evidence concealment shortly after the impact. Nayla Freitas detailed a series of quick actions taken by the team while her brother was still waiting at the jump structure:

• The official “Entre Cordas” Instagram page was deactivated and removed from the air in a matter of minutes.
• The WhatsApp group used to coordinate customer schedules and payments was immediately blocked from new messages.
• The lack of transparency and the destruction of contact channels generated outrage among customers who witnessed the scene.

The isolation of the area required the joint mobilization of teams from the Military Police and the Fire Department. The formal registration of the incident is being processed by the Civil Police, which assumed responsibility for technical inspections of the seized equipment. At the time of writing the bulletin, public security forces had not confirmed the arrest of the instructors or the agency’s owners.

Resuscitation attempts and confirmation of death at the scene of the accident

In the minutes following the impact with the ground, people who were at the bottom of the park began cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers. Primary rescue efforts continued until the arrival of advanced support ambulances from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU). Despite the attempts of the medical teams, the victim suffered severe multiple trauma and was pronounced dead in the rescue area.
