Maurice, I watched Evel fall into the Snake River Canyon live from a rock outcroping a little up river. From the second he launched, it was obvious he was not going to make it to the other side, or even close to the other side. I seem to recall the chute deploying about 20 feet off the ramp. What a great road trip that was. Even though it was the whole point of the trip, Evel Knievel's jump was a relatively minor event during that long ago long weekend.
