Evil Knievel is a famous daredevil. Did you not see when he jumped the grand canyon ??? As far as I know, yes he is still alive. He'd prob be late 40's or early 50s.

You are kidding, right? Evel Kneivel is a daredevil biker who attempted several dangerous jumps on his motorcycle, including over the Snake River. He said once on an interview show that he had broken just about every bone in his body over the course of his career. I can think of a couple of different ways to make a living. His son has carried on in his footsteps.

Jan. I, 1968 - Crashed in an attempt to clear the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Los Vegas
Sept. 20, 1970 - Successfully cleared 13 cars in Seattle, WA
Jan. 8, 1971 - Again clearing 13 cars he drew a then record crowd to the Houston Astrodome
Feb. 28, 1971 - Set World record at Ontario, CA by jumping 19 Dodge cars.
May 10, 1971 - Crashed in an attempt to clear 13 Pepsi Cola trucks in Yakima, WA
March 3, 1972 - Suffered serious injury in San Francisco's Cow Palace when his motorcycle crashed in a very difficult landing area.
Feb. 18, 1973 - Taking off from the highest ski-style jump ramp ever used he thrilled the crowd of 35,000 by flying over 50 cars stacked in the center of the Los Angeles Colliseum
August 20, 1974 - In his last jump before the famous do-or-die Snake River Canyon attempt, he soared 135 feet over 13 eight foot wide Mack Trucks at the Canadian National Exposition.
Sept. 8, 1974 - After two unsuccessful unmanned test flights Evel decided to keep his word to his fans and risked his life in a specially constructed rocket powered "Skycycle" in an attempt to clear the Snake River Canyon in Idaho. Even though he made it across the quarter mile wide chasm, strong winds blew the malfunctioning parachute back into the canyon, landing just a few feet from the swirling river in which he would have surely drowned.
May 31, 1975 - A record crowd of over 90,000 at Wembley Stadium in London, England watched as Evel crashed upon landing, breaking his pelvis after clearing 13 double-tiered buses.
October 25, 1975 - Defiant after the Wembley crash, Evel successfully jumped 14 Greyhound buses at King's Island in Ohio.

His name is spelled "Evel Knievel". He was a daredevil, most famous for jumping over things on his motorcycle. He was most active in the 1960s and '70s and is now retired. His son, Robbie Knievel, now makes a living doing the same sorts of stunts.
