The Cuban contestant Laura Pérez had a shocking moment in the Miss Universe Latina reality show when she suffered a dramatic fall while performing a risky challenge on stage, live and in front of the astonished gaze of the judges and the audience.
The challenge, the last of the season, involved climbing onto a 10-foot high platform, secured by a harness, and jumping into the void to catch a crown suspended even higher.
Laura bravely jumped, but something malfunctioned in the securing mechanism, causing her to fall from high up.
The images of the accident quickly went viral. In the show, the host reacted with alarm and hurried to ask the contestant if she was alright, immediately requesting medical attention on set.
The situation sparked a wave of reactions on social media, especially after Laura's sister reported on TikTok the negligence by the production of the channel Telemundo.
“Telemundo is a fraud. Telemundo didn't secure their candidate well, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen in the last challenge,” she stated, visibly concerned.
The host of the show clarified on air that the challenge had been rehearsed multiple times and a similar incident had never occurred. However, after the accident, the production decided to cancel the challenge for safety reasons.
The incident has sparked a debate about the limits of this type of competition and whether it is truly worth risking the physical integrity of the participants for the sake of entertainment. Users on social media agreed that "such a test should never have been allowed," especially under seemingly unsafe conditions.
