I just saw in the news that Evel Knievel died recently at the age of 69. According to reports, he was a very sick man who eventually died from pulmonary fibrosis, which is an incurable condition that scarred his lungs. Along with that he suffered two strokes a few years ago. I personally remember watching some of his daredevil stunts with his motorcycle. Weren’t they something to watch? Does anyone else remember his stunts? I’m surprised he never died from jumping his motorcycle over so many cars, RV’s, trucks, etc . Remember when he broke 40 bones from a stunt he did at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas? I think he retired after that. Some people really looked up to him as a great showman. His son Robbie Knievel is suppose to be following in his Dad’s footsteps as the next generation daredevil. Anyone ever watch him? I think it’s going to be difficult to replace his Dad. Don’t you agree?
