A bungee jumping accident occurred on the 10th in Moreno, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, where two young men died after violently colliding their heads in mid-air.
According to media reports, an old engineering crane, which was being dismantled at a farm in Moreno, was repurposed and transformed into a bungee jumping facility by the son of the farm owner and his friends. On the evening of the 10th, 25-year-old Martinez and 27-year-old Papayani jumped together from the 25-meter-high crane, and their heads collided violently in mid-air. One died on the spot, while the other was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment but did not survive.
Officials from the Moreno municipal government said that setting up such a high engineering crane without permission requires approval from the city government. Nearby residents thought the crane was being set up for construction work, so they did not report it.
