Extreme athlete known for performance with Madonna dies in Base jumping accident in Utah

Article excerpt

Two people died in a Base jumping accident in a Utah canyon over the weekend, including Andy Lewis, an extreme athlete who performed onstage with Madonna at the 2012 Super Bowl. Lewis was known for Base jumping, slacklining, and tricklining, high-risk disciplines that push the limits of what's physically possible. The Grand County Sheriff's Office confirmed his identity but has not yet identified the second victim. Base jumping remains one of the most dangerous sports, with participants leaping from fixed objects and deploying parachutes at the last moment.
