In 1965, Evel decided to jump over a 90-foot box of rattlesnakes and then did another jump over two mountain lions. The jump was a success, but Knievel did have this to say about it, “I jumped 50 rattlesnakes in a 90-foot box and two mountain lions, but smashed into the edge of the box. All the snakes got out and the people had to run down the mountain.”
