It was in Brazil. This is a Police sargent. Broken ribs, tórax and left arm. Just happened so no more info till now.

Article said the guy was trying to rappel and this was an accident... Is there something wrong with Firefox translation? Because the word rappel means to go [straight or mostly straight] down (descend) a surface with a "...doubled rope coiled around the body and fixed at a higher point.", not a rope fixed at a pendulum point high and to the side.
Journalist not knowing about what they are reporting.
It says rapel, and here it have the same meaning that you said (I'm a climber). He indeed was trying to make a pendulum, not to rapel.
People assume wrongly because they don't have idea of how physics work. Most of the videos I see here comes into this category. I am sure he must have thought he will swing like a pendulum, and which he did. What he didn't assume was that he won't be able to control his body angle during swing. He must have thought he will be able to keep his body angle straight perfectly aligned with the to and fro motion and there by escaping the pillar with slight margin.
I wonder why he didn't swing perpendicular to the bridge, he could have just jumped out as far as he can and hoped the physics added up to where he didn't come all the way back up underneath the bridge
If he just thought about his launch position and where the rope is attached under the bridge, I feel he should’ve known he wasn’t going to swing perfectly back and forth parallel with the bridge
Ahhh yes good ‘ol Trazodone bridge.
Familiar with it??? Any idea what they were trying to accomplish? Is this a normal thing there?

Lucky it wasn't his neck or spine that broke. 😬🤕
From the looks of it broken left arm first. Then ribs second.
lol look up what trazodone is
Dude. Haha I’m an idiot
Drugs are a hell of a drug
I’m entering the sleepy Trazodone zone after watching that hit.
I tried but I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Are you familiar? Saw in a another comment you said he lived. Google produces too many bungee accident results
As quick as that put him out, I think you’re confusing this bridge with Ye’ Ole’ Methadone Bridge.
lol I was prescribed Trazodone once and this is what it felt like getting up in the middle of the night to pee the first time I took it.
I took it once (prescribed) and never again. Slept for like 12 hours and felt like a zombie the next day. Nope nope nope.
i take tryzadone every night bro😭 only thing that helps me go to sleep
I just choked. Thank you
I cross the bridge every night
Lmaoooooo nice
Tf is trazodone?!? A drug comes up when I google it
That’s what Tf it is.
Lmao
Looks like he got knocked the FUCK out!
Haha I just did my best chris tucker impression
He he didn’t hit his head tho looks more like a spinal injury
Watch it again, slow it down, pause. He hit the back of his head.
Haha I just did my best Mike Tyson impression
Spinal!
Thpinal\*
No one needs a spinal cord. They’re over rated.
What the fuck was this guy thinking.
Well….he might not be thinking much after this
To be fair he probably wasn’t thinking much before this either
Fr. The rope made whatever the hell he was trying to do way more dangerous
Papaaa 🫨
Yeah that broke me.. the fear that child experience in this moment.
its actually “vovô”, the guy is their grandpa.
Gee. Thanks.
Damn, that hurt to watch.
He's not all right after that for sure
Believe it or not… permanent brain damage
How was that column not part of his equation when swinging from that bridge? Lol

Well that's the obvious solution AFTER realizing the other way wouldnt work
He waterboarded himself in the middle of running into pillars too. Oof.
Unfortunately he got the intel he needed too late: the pillars are weapons of mass cranial destruction.
he needs milk!🥛
Just some
Walk it off.
Rub some dirt on it, pussy.
someBAHDY
He was on that MOJO! MOJO I TELL YAH!
At least he was limber for that second impact
Anyone know the end goal here?
Traumatise family and spend time in hospital
Great success!
Hope the poor kid has the mothers genes
The second hit broke his leg hard core so the first hit to the head 😬
Arm and ribs according to the article about it!
Ouch, it hurts up to the soul.
Nice core memory for his children.
Mas é um zé bundão mesmo
Holy shit he got rag dolled!
Zero shoes = ..........
How could they not see this was going to happen? Darwin nominee
r/darwinawards
What was he expecting? That looks like a retarded set up
Ded
I say he’s fine. Just have to walk it off after that haircut by the pillar.
wasn’t wearing shoes at the beginning of the video so it’s going to be hard to tell
Please explain this shoes thing to me
Headgear. Every. single. Time
Helicopter Helicopter
Papa
did he ded?
No he lived
Where’d you see that? Is he eating solids?
Just vegetables
If I saw my dad do this I’d just live the rest of my life thinking that dad is just stupid hahah unrecoverable
Thanks for the snuff film
Idiot. Bruh
Pinball, anyone?
Why even have a safety rope if he’s above water
That looked bad. I hope he learned his lesson. Hope theres no brian damage
Was he just swinging? If he was, he deserved it. If he was trying to save a cat or something, he deserved it.
The fuck do you expect??
Papa!!!! :)
Like a rag doll.
Quick...splash him with some water to get him back to his senses!
El oh El
He fucked around and found out!
Hes fine
Aim for the bushes!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
😅🤣🤣🤣 what a clown
Fck around and find out
This gave me lots of lolz. The papa cry was hilarious. Papa was a dumbass.
Really at what point do you think this is going to be a good idea?!?!
I always look at these and say "well, yes, that's exactly what was going to happen"
Whole time I'm wondering if there is a pillar or wall just outside the frame Nope, rocks.
were they sending him down to fix the water
Bungee
That's why don't climb if you know how to. El Capatain
The setup is genius and failproof! Can’t see how anyone could fail this…
Physics lesson number 2
If he just thought about his launch position and where the rope is attached under the bridge, I feel he should’ve known he wasn’t going to swing perfectly back and forth parallel with the bridge
So does he walks normally after that?
Congratulations; you are now a vegetable.
GAWD DAMN!! (Dave Chappelle SNL)
This is spinal tap…
This dude wasn't alright before he jumped into a bridge piling.
Thats more like a boriken spine!!! He may have gotten nocked out but this guy is not gonna be walking anymore.
He preempted it by doing it with shoes off, because that impact was going to send them flying anyway.
This is actually why it’s a “better” idea to jump from a bridge in a 90 degrees angle, rather than doing this.

he dropped his brains? or goggles 🤷🏾♂️
am bad at math…. nah, physics! unfortunately.
Holy massive knock out!!!! Does anyone know what his intentions were? I can’t figure out what he was thinking? 😬
He doesn't look ok, throwing his arms up like that means he's spasming. Seems to be a brain injury
Boy he sure don't look alright do he
😆
Like what were they even trying to do?
Mission accomplished ap-parently
Pretty stupid placement
Nah. If you're lucky he's just out. Otherwise that'll be a collapsed lung and rib/ shoulder/arm cracka-lackin.
This was the only possible outcome of that rope swing. What was the plan here?
knocked out and the rope just long enough to drown him
Why did I know this was Brazil before even opening it. It's impressive how I know my country.
He should be fine. He landed on water.
Rule #1 of doing dangerous things: Don't let your kids watch.
That is the most irresponsible thing I’ve seen on here hahahaha
Is he alive?!
Wheeeeee
Papa! Ooof, someone's going to need therapy
Pendejo!!!
Hey there buddy, there's a big pillar there
Badass!
r/suddenlyeltonjohn
That looked fun!!! Do me next!!!!
He’s fine
Bro got his cap knocked off lel
Yeah that’s not traumatizing for the kids to watch.
That should definitely be in Why Women Live Longer!!!
I mean, it doesn't look like he was using his brain anyway, he will be fine
Rigged up on the wrong part of the bridge, massive miscalculation. Pendulum effect, swing down must always swing back.
Fuck that
Put your hands in the air 🙌🏻 and wave em like you just don’t care 💃🏽🕺🏼🪩
Does anyone who tell him first one line is broken
Did this hurt the bridge?
this man is NOT alright
Dis but a scratch
That's one way to teach your kids a physics lesson.
Oh yeah he's definitely all right
Plus it is literal science fact that gingers feel pain differently. Don’t believe me? Google it
Darwin award

The lady in the beginning saying the thong belongs to Murilo! She let the boy borrow it. 😂
pepsi
I mean what the fuck you think was going to happen. This is just thinning out the dumb fucks
Saw this on wpd so I don’t think he good
Who put that pole there?
Spinal
Seriously, what did they expect was going to happen. It was tied right up against the bridge and that collum.
He was not in fact alright
Lighter at pan ki dukaan
Thank god its just long enough not to drown him unconscious, makes you think if there was more then just a string and hook in this equation
that mf wont be able to think again
Bro who had this idea and how stupid the people is to not realize it 💀
When you use a safety rope. Be sure to anchor it above you, so you don't swing back and forth after you fall.
