Problem
Daredevil and stunt rider Evil Knievel attempted to ride over a bus and a canyon. Where can I see Evil Knievel, motorcycles and stunts? Actually his name sounds like evil Knievel, but it's really Evel Knievel. However, I reckon Evil Knievel is amusing and apr. I laughed out loud when I read about his earliest attempts at stunts:
Wikipedia reports on his early career: "Knievel was fired when he made the earth mover do a motorcycle-type wheelie and drove it into Butte's main power line.[8] The incident left the city without electricity for several hours."

1 You can see online or visit in person the Evel Knievel Museum in Topeka, Kansas.

Stunts as parts of films, or as standalone entertainments include:
Tightrope walking including over Niagara Falls. (See museums at Niagara Falls.)
In Niagara Falls, Canada, also see the Houdini museum. His stunts included getting out of trapped places and handcuffs under water.
See Aircraft stunts in films (movies) on YouTube, and stunt planes displayed at aircraft museums.
See horseback riding stunts.
Modern stunts include leaping from buildings.
