I’ve been trying to nail this down for years. I once read that the only world record still held by Kneivel (all his jumping ones having been superceded) was “most number of bones broken”. Does anyone know if this is true?

Okay I won’t cry like a baby, when I hurt myself.

@ elizabeth
He may have just splinted them himself and shrugged it off. After breaking your femur five times, I imagine a broken finger is just a scratch.

This may be obvious, but wouldn’t it be much easier to list the few bones he didn’t break?

No broken fingers? Impressive.

My ex-husband’s friend, Bob, was in contact with him over the years. Bob was in a motorcycle accident and was declared dead. Someone noticed he had a shallow breath, he was resuscitated and began a long, long path to healing . He was in alot of pain even after the bones knitted together. He got into contact with the stuntman and they wrote back and forth. He was told to take blackstrap molasses to regenerate and heal his body. He tried it and it worked. He was able to go back to work pain free! I will always think of that when he comes to mind!

Rest your soul!
