In case you don’t know who, Evel Knievel is, let me tell you. This daredevil attempted more than 75 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps. His most famous stunt was attempting to jump the fountains at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. He tried to jump across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho Falls using a rocket-powered cycle. He failed, due to a parachute malfunction, but only suffered minor injuries. He later jumped 19 cars with his Harley-Davidson XR-750 (pictured) at the Ontario Motor Speedway in California. That historic cycle is in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Needless to say, Knievel had trouble getting insurance. He is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the survivor of the most bones broken in a lifetime, more than 433 bone fractures. George Hamilton portrayed him in the film “Evel Knievel.” In this podcast he’ll tell you how he got his name and his philosophy in dealing with this dangerous sport.
