  Do YOU think the BASE jumping community members who had publicly called tandem BASE jumping &quot;the stupidest thing in the world&quot; before June 14th were right all along, or does the fact that Andy Lewis ran a federally permitted, federally reviewed operation for nearly eight years that safely carried clients from six to eighty years old without a single fatality mean that the people who said it was inherently irresponsible were confusing their own philosophy about how the sport should be earned with an honest assessment of what Andy had actually built?<br><br>Watch More: <br>His Sherpa Filmed Him Alive.

  A tandem from less than 300 feet is kinda stupid.

  I cannot imagine what kind of parent is happy to risk their child’s life and health with this kind of pointless danger

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OguLdjCl4aM&amp;t=531">8:51</a> taking a six year old is reckless. Why do these videos always say the person isn&apos;t reckless then immediately describe exactly how they are reckless?

  You don&apos;t need a working parachute to go base jumping. You do need one to go base jumping twice

  I get sky divers and base jumpers , seeking the thrill and all, but I don&apos;t like anything I&apos;m not in control of. I watch these videos and I&apos;m glad I hate heights
