🇧🇷 A 21-year-old woman has died after a rope jump in São Paulo state, launched from a bridge without being properly clipped to the safety rope.
She fell around 40 meters at the Ponte do Esqueleto.
Witnesses say people nearby spotted the loose rope and started shouting just before she went over.
3 men have been arrested.
Police say it was an informal group with no company behind it and no permission to run jumps there, and that they never checked the rope was actually attached to her.
They were never authorized, never regulated, never stopped, until it was too late.

SaVon details how a project with Elliott Wilson ultimately left him on the hook for $20,000. Despite being warned beforehand, he saw it as an opportunity to expand his brand and build his portfolio. But when he realized he wasn’t going to be compensated for his work, he was forced to cover the cost himself to protect his reputation and credibility within the industry.

It blows my mind how many people are complaining that Elon became the first trillionaire.
First, most of it is paper wealth tied to equity in his companies. He could not turn it into real cash without dumping shares, which would crash the price and shrink his net worth massively.
“But he can borrow against his shares.” Sure he can. That does not make him richer. A loan still has to be paid back, the shares stay pledged as collateral the entire time, and if the price drops he gets margin called. He’s just leveraging paper.
You would be much richer holding $1 million in cash than owning 25% of a company worth $4 million, even though both equal $1 million on paper.
Second, come on. He actually changed the world. A lot of these people complaining drive electric cars because they care about emissions. Those cars would not be mainstream if Elon had not built Tesla. Millions of people in rural and remote areas have internet because of Starlink. SpaceX is the only reason NASA is not still paying Russia to send astronauts to the ISS.
You can hate the man. You can hate his politics. But pretending he is not one of the most consequential entrepreneurs of our lifetime is just dishonest.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
