He is a piker next to Rex Kramer... Danger Seeker!

Offensive word used. It is Kentucky Fried Movie after all.

Steve it's basically the same mode of transport Evel used. He just didn't make it due to a faulty parachute. Eddie had no problems and his jump was a success. Hats off to him.... and to Evel too as he worked just as hard. Not many of us would have the balls to try it.

I think that is great! Not to mention the craft and chute are engineered to allow for a soft landing. Let's face it...it was nose-in and a good chance the chute not work. Accordion rocket and rider!
