(NewsNation) — A stunt performer who appeared at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show with Madonna died in a BASE jumping incident in Utah over the weekend.

Officials were notified of a BASE jumping incident in Mineral Bottom, a remote canyon, where rescue teams found two men. One was identified as Andrew Lewis, 39, better known as “Sketchy Andy,” who died of his injuries at the scene. Another 50-year-old man also died of his injuries.

The two men were conducting a tandem BASE jump when the fatal incident occurred, the Moab Sun News reported.

In BASE jumping, people use parachutes to descend to the ground after jumping off a fixed object. In tandem BASE jumping, a less experienced jumper is harnessed to a more experienced jumper, and the pair shares a single parachute.

BASE jumping is more dangerous than skydiving because the lower altitude offers less time to deploy a parachute.

Also known as “Sketchy Andy,” Lewis was a professional slackliner who helped popularize competitive tricklining and broke highlining records.

According to his website, Lewis became the first-ever slackline world champion in 2008, winning the title again in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

He walked more than 100 highlines without a safety leash and completed multiple firsts in highlining, his website said.
