RIP Daredevel: Evel Knievel 1938-2007

http://www.evelknievel.com/

Dead at age 69 from what some (USA Today) say are complications from "diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs."

It's surreal. I mean, just two days ago he settled that suit against Kanye West concerning the "Touch the Sky" music video. Though morbid, it's fitting in a way. A man defending his image as his last earth bound act.

Yes, it's a V8.
Yes, it was a Trans Am before there was "TRANS AM."

First Steve Irwin, now Evil Knievel....why are all these people dieing of things you'd least expect them to die of?

I gues he'll be jumping over cloud-gaps at risk of falling back down to earth.

Anyways, it's a shame to see a heroic stuntman like him go.

Yeah, I agree. I mean, you would have expected Evel Knievel to have died from one of those insane falls that he had. And I don't think I need to go into how flukey Steve Irwin's death was.
