Something says me that that crash hurt?

[early1900s]

It would be good if we had the power to read thoughts but to be honest I think we all know the only thing Evel would be thinking during this jump was "Is this jump gonna be my last"...

Evil Knievel is a great study in the differrence between wanting to succeed and preparing to succeed. His entire career is just one crash after the other, but if he had only known a little physics and geometry it all would have been different.

Is that Robbie Knievel behind him while he's driving the bus?

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

If you look at the 14 bus jump that he did later that year you see what went wrong on this jump. Going up the ramp he bounces because the takeoff ramp is set up badly. He needed a better transition going up. The back wheel bobbles going up the ramp. Evel lands on his front wheel, almost flat, and sideways if you look at up from another angle.
