26-year-old British influencer dead after falling 160ft from Spain’s tallest bridge

As a gamer with a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve always been intrigued by the adrenaline-fueled antics of daredevils and content creators who push the boundaries for views and likes. However, the recent death of a British influencer while climbing Spain’s tallest bridge without a harness has made me reconsider the line between thrill-seeking and recklessness.


In the world of content creation, a thrill-seeker met an unfortunate end during an attempt to scale Spain’s highest bridge without using safety gear.

Last Sunday, October 13th, a notable figure from Britain met with tragedy as he fell to his death while trying to ascend Spain’s highest bridge, the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge, which is situated in Talavera de la Reina, a city found southwest of Madrid.

The identity of the influencer remains undisclosed at this time, as authorities continue their investigation into the events that led up to his untimely passing. According to law enforcement officials, they have yet to uncover the precise circumstances surrounding his death, which will be examined further by a local court.

In the heat of the game I call life, I found myself scaling a towering 630-foot bridge, with nothing but my raw courage and determination as my safety equipment. Soaring upwards for about 160 feet, I was just starting to feel the thrill when suddenly, I took an unexpected fall.

Macarena Munoz, who works for a local government’s crisis management team, verified that the influencer had a companion aged 24 while they were both producing social media material together, at the time of his fall.

As I’ve gathered from our findings, they were here at Talavera with the intention of scaling the bridge and generating content for social media. Regrettably, this endeavor ended tragically and sadly, as I’m now sharing with you.

Even though the other climber was not secured with a harness, they managed to stay safe while descending the bridge.

Despite some Spanish media suggesting it had been raining prior, Munoz emphasized that scaling the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge was always forbidden under any circumstances.

“We have reiterated on many occasions that it cannot be done under any circumstances,” Munoz said.

Occasionally, this isn’t the initial tragic incident involving a thrill-seeker who produced content based on their breathtaking ascents.

In July 2023, Remi Lucidi met his unfortunate end after plummeting 720 feet from a towering skyscraper in Hong Kong. This fearless French adventurer fell from the 68th floor and was later recognized on a balcony midway up the Tregunter Tower.

Back in the early part of this year, I was deeply saddened by a heart-wrenching incident involving a 14-year-old TikToker named Moe Sa Nay. In Southeast Asia, she tragically lost her life while attempting to capture a selfie near the Sinywa Waterfall. Unfortunately, her body became lodged between two boulders and couldn’t be retrieved immediately. It wasn’t until the next day that her remains were finally found.
