Vera Mol, 17, was told "no jump" by the instructor, but misheard it as "now jump" because of his poor English skills ,and plunged to her untimely death, reports said.
The devastating incident happened on the bridge of Cabezon de la Sal, located in the northern Spanish province of Cantabria,and now the instructor, who has not been named, has appeared in court accused of causing the Dutch teen's death.
According to Daily Mirror, judges in the court of Cantabria, northern Spain, say the instructor should have checked for ID to make sure Vera was 18 years old, adding that his English was "macarronico" ('very bad').
It is reported that the instructor was supposed to have said "don't jump" instead of "no jump" to avoid problems.
That bridge is also not supposed to be used for bungee jumping under Spanish regulations.
Flowtrack, who run the bungee jumping company which employed the man have said it was an accident.
Martijn Klom from the company said the girl's death was caused by a misunderstanding when she was receiving instructions for the jump.
According to Klom, the girl jumped when she was tied by the rope, but without being secured to the bridge. SHARE THIS NEWS
