after surviving 40 plus broken bones throughout his life of many adventures, he finally succumbed to several illnesses. IMO, he's one of the pioneers (if not the pioneer) of extreme sports.

December 1st, 2007 02:26 PM #3I saw him perform in Reno long ago. I also remember in grade school when he tried to jump over the Snake River canyon in Idaho with his rocket. He failed. Years later, I visited the place. There was no way he would've made it. But, it was a gutsy attempt, regardless.
RIP....

OT: I forgot the name of a relatively famous American stuntman who after years of doing his own daredevil stunts, died in a motorcycle accident not related to his stunt acts.
