ranked number 51 behind the District of Columbia, according to the latest

but has more people overall.

CRAP !!
on may 31, 1975, at wembly stadium, evel successfully jumped over 13
double-decker busses, but crashed upon landing, breaking his pelvis.
assisted by handlers, he staggered to the microphone, announcing he would
never jump again. yet, less than five months later, knievel successfully
jumped over fourteen greyhound busses at king's island, ohio.
his last big stunt came a year later, jumping a shark tank at the chicago
amphitheater.
he crashed, broke both arms, and suffered a concussion.
 
I remember watching the commercials for the shark tank jump with anticipation. We sat waiting for his big jump, through all the hype that evening, only to learn that he would not be jumping.

I can remember watching the Snake River Canyon live (or live*ish*) too. I still have an Evel Knievel motorcycle launcher in my display case here at home.
