- Coven, on 11/30/2007, -7/+633Rest in peace you crazy *****...
- kiiwii, on 11/30/2007, -11/+156That's too bad, condolences to his family, but...
Was I the only one who thought he was already dead? - theGreg, on 11/30/2007, -4/+119I hear the coffin is going to have to clear 20 buses in a row to make it to the funeral home.
Not to mention the ring of fire. - romeyinfc, on 11/30/2007, -2/+107Somehow I thought he would have died in flames during some failed stunt. To die due to failing health doesn't seem fitting for this guy... RIP regardless.
- brad3378, on 11/30/2007, -3/+84Wow - and only 2 days after settling his lawsuit with Kanye West:

Rest In one piece bro - CrackyJSquirrel, on 11/30/2007, -1/+68A true American icon. A free spirit, risk taking, take no *****, look death in the face kind of guy.. What Americans used to be..
- Nesh, on 11/30/2007, -1/+67His flame adorned coffin is scheduled to be launched over snake river canyon at noon tomorrow.
- tehpwnerofn00bs, on 11/30/2007, -4/+68No, I don't think he did.
- blueskydiver76, on 11/30/2007, -5/+65The King is dead...Long live the King!
- inertkinesis, on 11/30/2007, -5/+62And so soon after settling that ridiculous lawsuit with Kanye West.
- neonsox, on 11/30/2007, -6/+5569?! OW! Wild man!
- alkajazz, on 11/30/2007, -4/+53I hope they launch his body over a cliff.
- MattB123, on 11/30/2007, -2/+43I met him once. Crazy dude. A girl I know was asked to pose nude with him for his Christmas card (wanted to shoot with two nude ladies in the snow - Evel wasn't going to be naked, thankfully).
RIP and condolences to friends and family - bosssmiley, on 11/30/2007, -3/+41Dang. Another special little bit of my childhood is now only a memory. Condolences to his family.
On the bright side; Heaven just got a little more madcap. - mongoloidplease, on 11/30/2007, -1/+38But the fact of the matter is: Bones heal. Chicks dig scars. And the United States of America has the best doctor-to-daredevil ratio in the world!
- ScottDaMan, on 11/30/2007, -1/+36It has nothing to do with the national publicity including CNN. It's always digg's fault :)
- EvilDr.X, on 11/30/2007, -1/+34He's jumping motorcycles over angels now.
- joebleaux, on 11/30/2007, -1/+34and now:
"Knievel died on November 30, 2007, aged 69. He had been ill for years, suffering from hepatitis C, as well as diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. [11] [12] [13]
When Hip-Hop artist Kanye West heard of Knievel's death, he exclaimed: "George Bush doesn't care about Stunt People"" - MisterEX, on 11/30/2007, -1/+32Evil Knievel, dead at age 69 - should have been dead at age 25, 28, 32, 36...
Certainly did more in a lifetime than many will ever hope to see. Rest well. - EmperorAwesome, on 12/01/2007, -0/+31This guy? This guy died from natural causes? I can see a lot of people calling up old friends to collect on nearly forgotten bets.
- TheEclipse, on 11/30/2007, -0/+29"Did you ever hear about my great great grandfather? He was a gladiator in Rome. Caesar hated him. He dug a hole in the coluseum and buried my great-great grandfather up to his neck. And Caesar got the meanest lion in all of Rome. Then he starved him to death and let him out at a big gathering. The Lion pounced and as he went to bite, my grandfather ducked and bit the lion's balls right off. Then he spit them at Julius Caesar. Caesar turned and said, "Fight fair Knievel. Fight fair." -Evel Knievel.
- smacksaw, on 11/30/2007, -2/+30There will never be another like him. RIP to Evel Knievel, the crazy bastard who lived in his own world with his own rules.
- andrewcsayer, on 11/30/2007, -1/+27Evel - just to let you know, you inspired me to do some crazy, crazy ***** in my youth.
- scotty588, on 11/30/2007, -0/+20http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/11/30/k ...
- ForebodenOdin, on 11/30/2007, -0/+20So long Evel...
- LoveTheCoast, on 11/30/2007, -0/+18Rest in peace bubba -- you created a one player sport and then ruled like no other.
- inactive, on 12/01/2007, -4/+21Kanye West hates black people
- ncc74656m, on 11/30/2007, -5/+22Coincidence? I think not!
- BenKenobi88, on 11/30/2007, -3/+20What makes you think it was murrrderrr?
- illiteratebeef, on 11/30/2007, -1/+18not really.
- BenKenobi88, on 11/30/2007, -2/+19Someone want to explain it to him?
- ktrough, on 11/30/2007, -0/+16Evel is my childhood hero. What an incredible badass and what a set of brass balls. He could do just about anything and live to tell the tale.
- Humptydank, on 12/01/2007, -1/+17From Wikipedia:
--- On April 1, 2007, Knievel announced to a worldwide audience that he "believed in Jesus Christ" for the first time. Knievel told how he had refused for 68 years to convert to Christianity because he didn’t want to surrender his lifestyle of "the gold and the gambling and the booze and the women." ---
It looks like the gold and the gambling and the booze and the women were just about the only thing keeping him alive. It's like when you get stabbed, you shouldn't just pull out the knife. When it comes to gold and gambling and booze and women, taper off... - Flappity, on 11/30/2007, -3/+19Gotta love Wikipedia - looked at that article when I first heard of his death, and what do I find?
"According to his Official Website, http://www.evelknievel.com, Evel Knievel has died on November 30, 2007, at age 69. According to reports, his lower back exploded when nurses changed the channel to a Ron Paul commercial.[citation needed]"
But in all seriousness, RIP - jimmy72, on 11/30/2007, -0/+16The world is a bit darker today. He was truly one of my heroes. May he rest in peace. If there is a heaven, I bet he jumps the pearly gates to make his entrance.
- ClockworksNine, on 11/30/2007, -2/+17It now states:
"Knievel died on November 30, 2007, aged 69. He was eaten by ice weasels at his home in Oakland." - masterc, on 12/01/2007, -1/+15April 1st? Interesting day to choose to start believing...
- Sabrestryk, on 11/30/2007, -1/+15I hope they make him a kickass tombstone.
- gregdogum, on 11/30/2007, -0/+12Wikipedia can explain it to him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_is_dead._Lon ...
- TomRemixed, on 11/30/2007, -1/+13Kanye West hates stuntmen!
- harrv, on 11/30/2007, -1/+13Pics, or it didn't...
Oh, nevermind. - CapnMarko, on 11/30/2007, -0/+11Peace out ... I so want my old Evil Knievel Stunt Set
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEUVm-Ja6lY - mswope, on 11/30/2007, -1/+12Yeah, and they can leave the parachute off of it this time. He'll make it on his last attempt.
- Vigrant, on 11/30/2007, -2/+12Rest in Peace.
- illiteratebeef, on 11/30/2007, -1/+11now it's:
"Conspiracy?:Eyewitnesses reported seeing Evel accept a dare from Chuck Norris. He died instantly from the blunt force of a roundhouse kick to the head." - jonshipman, on 11/30/2007, -3/+13He loved suffering from hepatitis C?
- blueZhift, on 11/30/2007, -1/+11I loved watching his stunts as a kid. It's amazing he even got to 69 at all! Rest in peace Evel.
- rayefrenzy, on 11/30/2007, -2/+11He lived a lot longer than most expected.
- Abestar, on 11/30/2007, -6/+15No but that doesn't make you any less stupid.
- vofuse, on 11/30/2007, -0/+9They should fire his casket over Snake River Canyon.
