Don’t try This at Home, or Anywhere for That Matter

I don't know why I clicked on this video, I am the biggest wimp you'll ever meet, but I just couldn't believe what I was reading and then I couldn't believe what I was watching.

Australian motorcycle stunt rider Robbie Maddison, known as today's Evel Knievel, recently dropped in on the Utah Olympic Park in Park City and raced down the bobsled run as a warm-up before making a spectacularly frightening  jump off the K120 Nordic Ski long jump.

He was going 71 mph, dropped 18 1/2 stories (or 185 feet, said to be a world record), and jumped a total length of 374 feet. This video is not for the faint of heart, which means I watched it with 1 eye closed and my hands over my face.
