A businessman has fallen to his death in a bungee jumping accident after the rope reportedly snapped.

Adam Esteves Gomes Dias Martins, 25, was at the 100-meter high Prainha Viaduct, a popular bungee jumping spot in the municipality of Antonio Dias, in south east Brazil, when he plunged off and fell to his death on October 3.

The exact cause of the accident at the popular beauty spot has not been confirmed.

 

But there are suggestions that either his rope snapped or it was too long, according to local media reports.

 

Friends of the victim, who he had been practising bungee jumping with, called emergency services to the scene. When they arrived he was pronounced dead at the site.

They had to treat some of his friends, who were in shock from witnessing the horror.

 

According to reports, he paid £7 for the jump, although the firm that organised it has not been named.

The U.K. government said Friday, Nov 27, that it plans to create a Digital Markets Unit (DMU) to enforce "a new code to govern the behavior of platforms that currently dominate the market, such as Google and Facebook."   The aim is to protect smaller competitors and give consumers more control over personal data.   Under the new code, some of the world’s biggest tech companies may have to be more transparent about the services they provide and how they use consumers’ data. They may also be forced to give consumers a choice over whether to receive personalized advertising, and they won’t be able to place restrictions on customers that make it difficult for them to use rival platforms.    The DMU, which will be part of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), will start work in April 2021.   The government said the DMU may be given the power to suspend, block and reverse decisions made by large tech companies. The DMU could also order them to take certain actions to achieve
