A British influencer tragically fell to his death while climbing Spain’s tallest bridge, the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge, without a harness. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
Oregon, BollywoodFever: A British content creator tragically died on October 13 while attempting to climb Spain’s tallest bridge—the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge in Talavera de la Reina.
The 26-year-old daredevil, whose name has not been revealed, fell from the 630-foot bridge while climbing without a harness, in an attempt to create social media content.
According to reports, the influencer had climbed about 160 feet of the bridge before falling.
The circumstances of his fall remain unclear and are currently being investigated by local authorities.
Macarena Munoz, a spokesperson for a regional emergency coordination center, confirmed the influencer was not alone and had been accompanied by a 24-year-old friend who was also unharnessed but managed to descend unharmed.
“According to what we have been able to establish, they had come to Talavera to climb the bridge and create content for social media, which has resulted in this unfortunate and sad outcome,” Munoz stated.
She also emphasized that climbing the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge is strictly prohibited under any circumstances.
While climbing incidents like this are rare, this tragedy adds to a growing list of deaths involving daredevils creating extreme content. In July 2023, Remi Lucidi, a French climber, fell 720 feet from a skyscraper in Hong Kong, and earlier this year, a 14-year-old TikToker named Moe Sa Nay died while attempting to take a selfie at the Sinywa Waterfall in Southeast Asia.
The dangerous pursuit of extreme content for social media continues to raise concerns, as influencers risk their lives for viral moments.
