A nurse has plunged 20m to her death after slipping through a hole in a beat-up and damaged zipline platform.
Yasmili Araujo, 23, had gone with her boyfriend and friends to a water park in Brazil on July 2.
Witnesses claimed she climbed to the top of the zipline platformwithout any protection.
But just moments before she was offered a safety harness by members of staff, she fell through a hole on the platform and plummeted towards the ground.
She fell more than 20m. The incident happened at Piracema Park Club.
In a statement, the water park wrote: "Piracema Park Club provided all support and attention to the young woman's family and, after the accident, closed the activities of the attraction ...
"Which will only return to operation after investigation by the relevant authorities regarding the causes of the accident."
The case has been reported to the police and is under investigation.
