Video: “Enjoy your life everyone. Everyday is a gift. Enjoy my pain, it was wonderful to feel alive!” – Andy Lewis cheats death when his base jump cutaway goes terribly wrong!
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. The day was Friday, the 13th.
