The men who appear in the video pushing the young woman (watch above) wore t-shirts from the brands "Entre Cordas" and "Ih Voei". According to the police, the names are informal groups of practitioners, and there are no official companies behind the operation.
They were a group of sports enthusiasts who met and, about a year ago, started promoting events in various destinations.
The defense lawyer stated, still on Saturday, that the three clients are passionate about the sport, have been playing for years and have never had any problems. He classified the case as a "sad fatality".
The victim will be laid to rest this Sunday at the Municipal Velório of Jandira (SP). The burial will then take place in the Municipal Cemetery of the same city.

The tragedy
A video circulating on social media shows Maria Eduarda being carried by three employees to the edge of the platform. She is propelled forward and, shortly after the fall, screams of despair are heard saying "the rope" and "people, the rope".
The young woman fell from a height of 40 meters and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Samu and Fire Department teams.
According to the Civil Police, the thick equipment that should have been attached to the victim's body to arrest the fall was forgotten and remained rolled up on the floor of the jump structure.
A witness, who would jump right after the young woman, reported that the instructors did not carry out a safety check when Maria Eduarda was there.
According to witnesses and the Civil Police, there was a serious failure in checking the equipment and the instructors simply forgot to connect the security system in Maria Eduarda.
A customer who would jump shortly thereafter reported that employees ignored the standard conference when it was her turn. The thick rope that was supposed to catch the young woman's fall remained tangled up on the floor of the platform.
In a statement to the police, the three arrested instructors were unable to explain the reason for the error. The delegate responsible for the case stated that they appeared bewildered and claimed not to remember who was responsible for placing the rope, nor why the final inspection had not been carried out before pushing the victim.
