Evel Knievel is dead
Now's that's a name from the past – i don't think I had heard of him for 25+ years. But Robert Craig ‘Evel' Knievel has died aged 69.
Knieval's stunts comprise four of the top 20 most-watched abc's Wide World of sports events of all time. His first major attempt to jump the fountains at Caesars Palace put him in a coma for 29 days.
