Death of Beto Carrero pilot: acrobatic show was high-risk but within rules, concludes report
A report concluded that the acrobatic show during which the Beto Carrero pilot died was considered high-risk, yet it adhered to safety regulations, with no evidence of negligence found.
On November 2025, Lurrique Ferrari, a pilot performing at the Beto Carrero World park in Penha, Brazil, tragically died during an acrobatic maneuver when he collided with a ramp. According to the police report released on December 12, the event was categorized as 'potentially dangerous,' inherently involving elevated risks that are accepted within such performances. Despite the high-risk nature of the activity, investigators found no indications of criminal conduct in relation to the accident.
The detailed investigation by the police concluded that there were no signs of negligence, imprudence, or malpractice from the event organizers or technical team responsible for the show. The findings stated that the event was conducted within the acceptable limits of risk associated with aerial performances. The cause of death was identified as acute hemorrhaging resulting from severe abdominal trauma caused by the impact.
Given the report's findings, it has been suggested to archive the case due to the absence of destabilizing elements or disregard for safety regulations. This incident underscores both the inherent dangers of aerial shows and the importance of adherence to safety protocols, potentially prompting further discussions about safety measures in the performance arts.
