Evel Knievel figured out that if he practiced, concentrated, trained, and calculated carefully enough, there was a slender envelope of perfect safety.

No, that was his son. Evel's medical records are enough to prove he was a daredevil. He didn't take a scientific approach, for him it was mostly "that looks about right" attitude. I admired him just the same, because he was a pioneer, an original.

Well lots of companies were started on the back of an envelope.

Granted, usually engineers were doing the drawings... LOL!
