Rest in peace. He was one of the greatest stuntmen to ever live and he will be missed.

 

[Jammer]

Me sad. People with names like his don't deserve to die.

And by the way, it's "Evel", not "Evil", I believe.

He was an hero

He was an hero

I wouldn't say that.

 

[Crimson King]

Yea, I don't get that one either.

 

[Firebert]

Yea, I don't get that one either.

He showed everyone that fear is overrated.

He showed everyone that fear is overrated.

Or that stupidity can defeat pain. I think fire fighters showed people that fear is overrated a long time ago.

I know. But he was an international icon, and the first individual to show this. Stupidity may have been a factor, but the effect on the generations who looked up to him remained the same.

Lol, *chan memes. "An hero" refers to suicide. No suicide, no "an hero". Shall I elaborate?

 

[Dodongo]

It most definitely was suicide, at least inadvertently. He put his body through tons of very stupid and dangerous situations for the sake of fame and there's no doubt he shortened his own life considerably.

Evel Knievel. Proving death will come to us all since 2007.

But he died of natural causes that any average person would have died of anyway. He is remembered fondly, but the suicide wasn't deliberate. Therefore, not an hero.
