Evel Knievel Fast Facts:

After his parents separated, he and his brother were raised by his grandparents.
First daredevil jump was to drum up business at his motorcycle shop. He jumped over 40 parked cars and crashed into a box of rattlesnakes at the end.
Famously crashed at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve, 1967, and ended up in a coma for a month.
During his Snake River Canyon jump in 1974, his parachute deployed early, causing him to drift to the bottom of the canyon floor. He suffered only minor injuries.
Hometown Butte celebrates "Evel Knievel Days" every July.
