Evel Knievel and his attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in 1974. A much hyped event. The peak moment in his career. Evel Knievel born this day 1938.

OMG! Did he survive the jump?
Yes…but if you watch the video the parachute opened before he even left the ramp…this was a much hyped event.. a lot of people felt ‘taken’ after it was over..
Yes, yes, i did watch, it’s AMAZING! I am not really a fan of things extreme – but when you think how long ago it was and how brave he must have been to do it – it’s awe inspiring indeed! I am glad he made it though – the last scene is bodies floating and someone saying there are no rescue boats… eek! And i was moved by the narrative, that he prayed… Thanks for sharing it, very interesting!
