Robert Craig a.k.a. "Evel" Knievel passed away on Friday at the age of 69. Knievel was probably best known for his attempt at jumping the Snake River Cannon in 1974. According to a documentary he did with the History Channel Knievel said that he had waited seven years to jump that cannon and one mistake caused him to lose it all. Despite the fact that he was a highly paid dare devil the injuries Knievel gathered during his jumps were many including numerous broken bones and at one time in his career a coma that lasted for 29 days and without a doubt someone who will be remembered for generations.
