45 Random Trivia Tidbits That Successfully Jumped Snake River Canyon in A Skycycle X-2 Rocket
The Skycycle X-2 is a steam-powered rocket. The Snake River Canyon is in Idaho and runs 500 feet deep and a quarter mile wide. Evel Knievel attempted to jump it back in 1974. He was unsuccessful as his landing parachute deployed mid-jump, causing the rocket to fall back to land. It nearly plopped into the river, which would have caused Knievel to drown, as he was unable to release himself from the seat harness.
But that’s not what happened when these 44 trivia tidbits tried the same jump. Nope, they all piled in and hung on for dear life as the X-2 soared mightily against the potato-rich backdrop of Idaho, landing safely on the other side.
So congratulate each and every one of these brave trivia souls, and you might just talk them into doing it again.
