A young tourist in Brazil has defied all danger and risked her life to be captured sitting on the famous but highly dangerous “chairlift” in Garganta do Céu.

In a video making the rounds on the internet, the girl is perched on a rock hundreds of metres high, without, indeed, any protection. The scene is breathtaking, not only because of the view, but mainly because of the deadly risk: a single slip would be enough to throw her over the edge.

⚠️ Um vídeo que circula nas redes sociais mostra uma turista sentada na famosa “cadeirinha” da Garganta do Céu, formação localizada entre os paredões da Pedra da Gávea, no Rio de Janeiro, sem qualquer equipamento de segurança. 🧗 A área, de difícil acesso e grande altitude, é conhecida pelo risco e pelas exigências de segurança. No registro, é possível ouvir outras pessoas ao fundo, indicando que o local estava sendo usado para fotos, apesar do perigo. 🚫 As autoridades reforçam que a trilha até a Garganta do Céu deve ser feita com o acompanhamento de guias experientes e o uso adequado de equipamentos. A exposição desnecessária pode resultar em acidentes graves. 📹: Reprodução/ (aguardando créditos) #jornaldebrasilia #PedradaGávea #turismoresponsável #trilhasegura #riodejaneiro #escalada #segurançanatrilha
