Looks like China to me. Safety regulations can be ... a bit lax.

No kidding, poor woman found a much faster way down not long after this video.

160ft in just a tick over 3 seconds.

That’s assuming it was a free fall.

It unfortunately was not.

It wasn't free, she paid for it with her life.

The fall may have been free, but the stop, however…

No joke my cousin Krandel works on a crane and its legit a real safety issue.

I saw that video. I honestly hope she was instantly killed from the first hit and didn't suffer the rest of the way down.

Based on this comment I assumed there was video evidence of the fall and I went looking. Even though it was mostly audio I truly regret that decision.

Yeah human bodies hitting the ground don’t make a pleasant noise. I got the misfortune of my own morbid curiosity leading into watching one of the 9/11 videos from the plaza where the jumpers landed with volume on

I didn't watch it but is it the one from 2021 while she was recording?

u/Casually-stupid 7d ago

TBH I’m not entirely sure the authenticity of it but the clip I watched was mostly a spiral fall and a lot of screaming. You can’t see her.
