Chilling footage shows a tourist in Brazil on a zipline ride that went tragically wrong when a pole supporting the cable collapsed and he fell to his death.
The horrific incident was filmed from multiple angles as it was recorded by both the victim, Sergio Murilo Lima de Santana, and his partner, who was on the ground.
De Santana, 39, was sliding on the Canoa Quebrada resort attraction in Aracati on October 10 when his support structure suddenly collapsed, plunging him into the sand below with a thud, a video.
He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The fatal crash was captured from multiple angles. De Santana took a video selfie of the ill-fated run as his partner shot video from the ground.
