Didnt Evel Kneivel used to jump over canyons where the bottom was a thousand feet down? I applaud this guy for his little stunt but it seems kind of timid by Kneivel standards. Then again, we've had a succession of fairly timid generations since the 60s, havent we. 40 years ago we landed on the moon. 50 years ago we built the entire interstate highway system, with all the mountain and riverine bridges, in less time than it now takes to complete the average spaghetti junction. And popular music really sucks now too, compared to the hayday of the Stones, Zeppelin, the Doors, Beatles, etc. etc. etc.
