CRAZY THINGS THAT REALLY HAPPENED IN VEGAS

EVEL KNIEVEL'S WILD RIDE

The original daredevil Evel Knievel attempted to jump over the fountain at Caesars Palace in 1967. Although he made it over the fountain, he crashed on the safety ramp and was in a coma for a month. Despite the crash, the stunt made him a household name.
