Sent to prison for reckless driving, he was placed in a cell next to a man named William Knoffel. Knoffel was famous as “Awful Knoffel” (rhymes with “Aw awful” and “Knoffel”), but during roll call the guards also called Knievel “Evil Knievel.” is. Evel liked this rhyme and chose this misspelling on purpose because it matched his last name and he didn’t want to seem “evil”! Knievel, who performed more than 175 jumps in his life from rural county fairs to sold-out stadiums, was a man who faced danger head on and lived to tell the story of that challenge. According to Guinness World Records, he broke or re-broken his bones 433 times (although this is likely an exaggeration) and spent most of his life in hospital. But despite his failed jumps, crashes, and multiple broken bones, he always got back up and kept trying. Evel Knievel also left an amazing legacy for future generations. He’s encouraged an entire generation of kids to jump over ramps on pushbikes (children’s bikes with no training wheels or pedals, just kicks from the legs), and encouraged them to evolve into motorcycles when they grow up.
