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.
This is what happens when people don’t take care in their boat! I completely understand the enjoyment from clowning around. But, there is a time and a place. It is never okay to travel at this speed in narrow water, especially when you don’t know what’s ahead!
This could have ended in significant tragedy. Thankfully the boat veered to avoid me, but they could have been seriously injured themselves.
