The jump failed due to a parachute malfunction, but Knievel survived with minor injuries.
Knievel sought to profit from his image through endorsements and marketing deals. American Eagle Motorcycles signed him, and his popularity grew with young boys.Knievel's fame led to TV appearances and partnerships with companies like AMF and Harley-Davidson. However, after an assault conviction and jail time, he lost endorsements and declared bankruptcy. Despite a decline in his daredevil career, Knievel made a marketing comeback in the 1990s and continued to be involved in various ventures. Knievel died on November 30, 2007, at the age of 69 due to diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
He was buried in his hometown of Butte, Montana. Posthumously, Knievel has been honored through various exhibits, a museum, and tribute jumps.
His legacy also lives on in television commercials featuring his iconic stunts. From KENNER STAR WARS FIGURES to CURRENCY to SPORTS CARDS!

My Wife was a TRAUMA NURSE in the EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT and sacrificed so much over the last year few years, as so many have, and has been HARD at WORK on the FRONT LINES of the EPIDEMIC.
