**Chilean Woman Tragedy: Skydiving Accident in Brazil Leads to Fatal Fall**

A tragic skydiving accident in Brazil resulted in the death of a 40-year-old Chilean woman, Carolina Muñoz Kennedy, when both her main and reserve parachutes failed to properly deploy. The incident, which unfolded on Saturday, was captured in horrifying footage that showed Kennedy spinning uncontrollably as she plunged to the ground in Boituva, Brazil.

Onlookers watched in shock as Kennedy frantically attempted to resolve the parachute malfunction but continued to descend at a terrifying speed. The video footage captures the moment she disappears behind a tree line, leaving the speechless skydiving crew on the ground in horror. Despite surviving the initial impact and receiving treatment from paramedics, Kennedy unfortunately succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital, as reported by the Sun.

José Soares de Melo, a witness, recounted the distressing scene to local media. "She was lying there on the ground waiting for help and people were calling the fire department and the police," Soares de Melo said. "I felt incredibly sad, shocked."

Kennedy was an experienced skydiver and had made several jumps earlier in the day, with the fatal jump planned as her last for Saturday. Authorities have launched an investigation into her death, seizing her high-performance skydiving gear for forensic analysis. The Brazilian Skydiving Confederation, with which Kennedy was registered, will also compile a report on the accident’s causes.

The Confederation expressed their condolences, stating, "At this difficult time, our thoughts are to our dear colleague, her family members, and the entire parachute community. We reiterate our commitment to the safety and integrity of all those involved in our sport."

Friends and family of Kennedy have taken to social media to express their grief and pay tributes. Marisel Karina Pacini Lepe, a friend of Kennedy's from Chile, wrote on Facebook, "Darling, I still can't accept your departure, the friend so beautiful, intelligent, kind, friendly. I hope that wherever you are, you can fly and do your thing with so much passion. See you later. Hugs to heaven, friend!"
