'That's not gonna happen.'Amid mounting questions over how the workers failed to attach the rope, their attorney said they had been organizing bungee jumps for over six years - with Egoroff's Instagram showing he often performed adrenaline-fueled stunts on the same abandoned bridge where Freitas was thrown from. The attorney said the rope was attached to the bridge, but 'for some reason' they never attached it to de Freitas or checked her harness before flinging her to her death.Officials said over 20 people were on the bridge at the time, including de Freitas's horrified boyfriend, who witnessed her final moments.

'It was all covered in mud. I kept going down, down, we walked all the way.'Dias described how the victim was breathing heavily and still had a weak pulse when she tried to give her life-saving care.She began to get emotional as she said: 'I even talked to her. I have a habit of joking and saying, "Nobody dies on my shift." And I told her, "Duda, nobody dies on my shift." Even though I wasn't on my shift there.'
