Four years before the tragedy, , posted a video showing him and the other coaches launching a mock body bag off the same bridge.
It is not clear what exactly is in the bag, but the video appears to show the sillhouette of a body.
And the haunting video begins with the title: “Disposing of a body”.
One user wrote: “What an extremely disturbing video, bizarre all that has happened.”
Another commented: “Prophetic, finally it happened. The girl died as planned… There are things we must not play with under any circumstances.”
The shocking stunt has resurfaced after more footage from Egoroff’s account shows the bungling bungee pro.
In the clip, the 32-year-old is seen holding a rope in one hand and a grinning child in the other as he leaps off the edge in the illegal, unlicensed stunt.

The three bungee coaches arrested in connection with Maria’s death were transferred from to a detention centre in Sao Paulo on Tuesday at the request of their lawyer.
Rafael Gomes dos Santos told Globo that this was done to “preserve the physical integrity of the accused”.
They have all said they could not explain how they managed to throw Maria off the abandoned rail bridge without a rope.
Footage shared by police reveals the moment the trio told cops they could not explain their fatal error.
Egoroff and Maicon Fernandes Cintra, 42, admitted they were responsible for setting up the ropes before the jump.
But neither could detail the division of tasks.
Luis, who said he earned around £26 per jump, told police that team members didn’t have set responsibilities during the jumps and equipment checks were carried out “jointly.”
Asked who was responsible for the final safety checks for Maria’s jump, he told police: “I can’t remember.”
Maicon reportedly gave cops the same answer.
Vitor de Freitas Gonçalves, 27, said he was called to help the victim but could not explain how a camera that was in the young woman’s hand had disappeared.

But witness Rafael Goulart told EPTV: “The first scene I remember when I saw the girl on the ground was seeing one of the employees removing the GoPro camera from the neck strap of the body that was already on the ground, either worried about the equipment or wanting to hide evidence.”
The three men have been charged with homicide with implied malice.
Their lawyer said he vehemently disagrees with the classification of the as intentional.
In a statement, Rafael said the accused never intended or assumed the risk of causing death.
On the day of Maria’s death, he said the three clients were passionate about the sport and had never had any problems.
Instead he described the case as a “sad fatality”.
Horrifying video that showed the moment from the edge of the bridge made global headlines last weekend.

She did not realise a safety rope had not been attached to her harness before the fall.
Seconds after the workers released her to drop into the void, voices can be heard in the background of the video shouting: “the rope, people, the rope”.
The workers then allegedly changed their clothes and said at least two fled the area.
But they were arrested soon afterwards at the Ponte do Esqueleto trail after a chopper tracked them down.
with an emotional tribute, saying she was only left with “pain” after the horror accident.
Valdenia Rodrigues described the rope the staff allegedly forgot to attach as “damned and cursed”.
