Sergio was on holiday in Ceará when he filmed another tourist happily riding the same line not long before he did.
This clip shows the length of the zipline that runs along the beach. A woman can be seen riding down the line, over water and on a sunny afternoon.
Sergio, who was from the Brazillian state of Pará, had been travelling around with his partner for six days before tragedy struck.
Sergio fell and emergency services raced to his aid. Sergio was then taken to the hospital but was declared dead upon arrival.
There have been many tributes on social media to him. Family and friends are still grieving his loss.
One of them said: “Another friend gone. A fatality. May God welcome you with open arms.”
Local authorities are believed to be investigating the circumstances surrounding Sergio’s murder.
The Tourist Police Battalion of the Military Police was dispatched to the scene at the time.
According to local media, the investigation will be conducted by the Aracati Regional Police Station.
In August, footage showed the horrifying moment that a woman died after falling from a Chinese zipline platform.
The tragedy struck as the woman was taking photos from a landing spot at a scenic spot.
A nurse in Brazil died just months before when she fell through a hole on a rickety, zipline platform.
Witnesses stated that the woman reached the top of a platform without any protection. She then fell to her death just moments before being given a safety belt.
The boy, nine years old, plunged 22ft into the Australian sky after a Zipline cable snapped in Australia.
Witnesses reported that the boy was taken to hospital with severe abdominal injuries and back pain after the horror fall.
