GoPro: Parachute Fail with Andy Lewis
Спорт
Andy Lewis is in the midst of a standard base jump cutaway when things go unexpectedly sideways. Figuratively and literally.
Dirt and grit buildup cause Andy's cutaway cable to jam when he goes to perform the cutaway, leaving him spiraling under a partially inflated parachute with only a couple of seconds to pitch. When that doesn't work Andy is faced with the impossible odds of landing with only three inflated cells.
Shot 100% on the HERO® cameras from GoPro.com.

not anything they can do. If they jump right after him and he is still under canopy in the air, well. They cant do anything to help from there. Even if they rushed down right away to see if they needed to call for help it would take forever and a half for help to get there.

because they could have crashed into him, because of the air currents probably pushing them the same direction a little i dont really know.

I think he meant that couldn’t have gone any worse without it being fatal. If he landed on a rock instead of soft sand, he’d be toast. If his base canopy entangled with the first one, he’d be dead.

You are One lucky bastard. I love you. I Hope you keep staying Alive man. Keep pushing!
Great video!

Awesome Video Andy Lewis:)
Oh yes, it could have gone MUCH worse ! So glad you were ok.
sweet view of Castleton tower! I climbed that 3 times on 3 different routes.
Nice this guys still alive!
Ya know, i'm no base jumper but uhhh. . . walkie talkies are pretty useful.
Nice quick thinking Andy. Great to connect here now Gopro as well as on IG!!

Parents: if your friends jumped off a cliff so would you!? Me:Alright, see you guys in a second
Old video but still great
A good friend repeatedly says, “there’s just no good reason going through life stupid on purpose”.
You can be happy that half the cells of the canopy stayed rather stable and open even though a gone wrong cutaway and slowed your fall enough not to let you get smashed
Nice going there buddy
Doing a cutaway I hope you had a reserve. Though I am not sure why you didn't pull the reserve just to (hopefully) get some more drag from the extra chute(even if it wouldnt have deployed fully). Looks like you got blessed with another chance at life, enjoy it! Blue skies!
I went to school with this kid, he would always hit the biggest gaps when skating.
I never thought the cutaway cords could fail like this. How and when does someone inspect them. Also, what sort of rig is he jumping with, a bunch of random parts piecemealed together or is a reserve that you pitch by hand and a BASE canopy that cuts away a real thing?
1:50 I felt that just watching..
the power of friendship
He's earning his nickname on this jump!
Glad you're good dude
Friend had alot of relief when he saw he was okay im sure. Was probably expecting him to be dead
Good GoPro ad shows that having a camera saves lives #cameramanneverdie
That was lucky. Guess your IG nickname sketchyandylewis fits just right. Glad you’re ok.
that was intense!
Sketchy Andy at it again
this is a badass scene , your friends jump off of a cliff and say "see yea in a sec" to your other friends and come "save" you
that was very dangerous you should be happy you have friends who care for you ♥ .
I know that feel when he landed and started breathing weird. He go the wind knocked out of him.
Respect 👏👏👏
Nice video...★
see ya guys in a sec... what a good friends
What a wholesome ending
“How ya doing buddy?” So nonchalantly

It doesn't make sense to cutaway a working primary and go to a backup. And where's the knife?
Man Sketchy Andy how many lives do you have?!!!!
That’s insane
My dream is to have a gopro of this as to acquire here in Brazil and very expensive
The pain comes the day after
Hearing that wind pick up more and more. Holy shit
Those guys were the chillest friends while their buddy was about to die. "Oh he's streaming. Yeah, he's fucked. Someone should probably call someone." lol
With all the "shouldas" on here...I'm just glad he lived and is actually ok as well! Seems like a pretty cool dude✌👍 Was gonna say he seems very down to earth...but probably not appropriate in this one🙄
“Okay, I’m good. Aaaarrrrggghhhh.”
The landing looks like something out of a movie
This is crazy
That perfect landing
“Well I’m gonna go land right next to him see you guys in a sec”

I am just wandering who is the manufacturer and model of conopy that you guys use for these base jumps?
