🏍 Daredevil Evel Knievel attempted to jump over the water fountains at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Sunday 31 December 1967 (US) Knievel’s jump was a 141 foot attempt and his longest to-date....and most notorious. Knievel missed the jump over the Caesars fountain, but made a splash nonetheless. When he missed the landing, crashing at around 90 m.p.h., he tumbled head-over-heels, over and over. In the process, he crushed his pelvis, broke his left hip, right ankle, hands and wrists. And he suffe

Back in 1967 Evel Knievel attempted to jump the fountains at Caesar’s Palace. Although he cleared the fountains, he crashed on landing breaking over 50 bones in his body. I was lucky enough to be at the exact location 58 years later. And I brought little Evel with me! #evel #evelknievel #caesarspalace #nostalgia #stunt | Ogdp
