Daredevil Dies in BASE Jumping Accident

A record-breaking daredevil who performed alongside Madonna at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show died in a BASE jumping accident near Moab, Utah, over the weekend, according to the Grand County Sheriff’s Office.

Accident Details

Andy Lewis, best known for setting a highline record 480 feet above Las Vegas in October 2013, died during a tandem jump with another diver Sunday in Mineral Bottom, Utah, authorities said. Lewis was originally from California and relocated to Moab, where he picked up the stage name ‘Sketchy Andy’ for his death-defying stunts.

Lewis’ final Instagram video, posted Sunday not long before his death, showed him doing a flip off a cliff in the desert outside Moab. During the tandem jump, something went wrong, and both men suffered fatal injuries, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

The Grand County Sheriff’s Office extends its deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and all those affected by this tragic incident. Lewis was a well-known figure in Moab, with one resident describing him as a ‘very big personality.’ Everyone knew him, the resident told Fox News Digital.
