10 Records Nobody Would Want To Break - Listverse

Most Bones Broken
By the time he jumped for the last time in 1977, Robert Craig Knievel, known as Evel Knievel, had logged 150 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps over various obstacles.

He crashed or had major mishaps during 18 of those jumps.

As a result, he suffered more than 433 fractures of 35 different bones, a world record. He fractured his skull, nose, jaw, both collarbones, both arms, both wrists, his sternum, every single rib, and his back five times. In addition, he broke both ankles, some toes, his right shin, right knee, tailbone, left hip, and had his pelvis crushed and broken three times.

    Yeah, Evil was the man...and that poor dog! Listverse is a nice list site if you are looking to kill a few minutes (or hours).

    Cheers
