As a recreational sky and scuba diver, hard disagree on doing their role. One final safety check should have come after she checked it, a buddy checked it, she checked again, etc.
This is a bunch of amateurs trying to make money off tourists without knowing what they’re doing. I had a boat driver run into a coral reef for the same reason except thankfully no one died.
The thing is that everyone should have had a specific role and they didn’t. One guy said they were all kind of responsible for everything jointly. You can’t use this type of system for an activity like this. One person has to be specifically responsible for securely attaching that rope to her ankles.
Damn, that 2nd point of view sounds like the woman filming makes some remark but doesn’t shout out. It’s like a few people noticed the problem but nobody wants to be the one to call out. This is the kind of stupid shit I’d do in a dream.
According to the YouTube captions, the person in the first clip says, “Gente! Gente, acorda a corda, velho!”, which is, “Guys! Guys, wake up the rope, man!”
The person in the second clip says, “Ai, meu Deus do ćeu!”, which is apparently just, “Oh my God” – going by tone, I wouldn’t say the second person had noticed the issue, but it sounded like the first one did and was in disbelief.
There seems to be a miss translation on the first saying.
What she says translate to " Hey!! Hey!! (Watch out) the rope, mate".
“Acorda” translates tô “wakeup”.
“A corda” translates to someone pointing to the substantive “hope”.
But they both sound the same without a context.
Furthermore, she indeed seems to realize that something was working at that moment.
That was mundanely horrific.
By that I mean it was mundane until the realization of what was wrong.
Everybody was calm. Everybody was having a good time. Everybody was doing their role.
That is, until the realization occurs.
Someone missed a step. Someone didn’t do a final safety check. Three people just threw a woman off a cliff.
And the rope was still coiled on the ground.
That’s gonna haunt me. I really wish I didn’t watch that.

Did you mean “rope”?
Thanks! I did wonder whether it might be a noun that was a cognate of “cord” (as in rope, cable, string), but I don’t speak a word of Portuguese.
