Robert Craig Knievel, aka Evel Knievel or sometimes misspelt as Evil Knievel, legendary daredevil/stuntman motorist, has died at the age of 69, announced a message posted on his website EvelKnievel.com. Knievel's death was confirmed by his grand-daughter, Krysten Knievel.
Evil Knievel had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs.
Evel Knievel was born October 17, 1938, in Butte, Montana. By the end of his career, 35 broken bones put him in the Guinness World Records. And he went through an estimated 200 units of blood to help bring him back to life after countless crashes, said ABC.
Knievel's most famous stunt was probably an attempt to jump the quarter-mile wide Snake River Canyon in Idaho 1974 on his rocket-powered "Sky-Cycle" (video below, awesome!).
CNN reported earlier this week, Knievel amicably settled a lawsuit with rap star Kanye West over West's use of a persona called "Evel Kanyevel" in his video for "Touch the Sky."
