GoPro: Parachute Fail with Andy Lewis

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2017
  • 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.
