THE NURSE FOUND HER BREATHING a woman was thrown off a 130-foot bridge in brazil without a safety cord attached, hit the ground at the base, and was still alive when an off-duty nurse who happened to be in the area reached her before emergency services did. - this was a rope jump, not bungee there is no elasticity, no give, nothing to absorb impact - the safety line was coiled on the platform behind the crew the entire time she was falling - witnesses standing on the bridge saw the loose rope and started screaming as she dropped - he fiancé was on the bridge watching and collapsed the moment he understood what happened - three people jumped before her that morning and nobody on the crew checked the line once she survived a fall that had no reason to be survivable. the crew had one job across four jumps and got it wrong on the last one
