He was a fucking legend too. He somehow basically had an indestructible body. He survived soo many accidents, stunts, and stunts gone wrong that should have killed him. He was well known for being completely fearless as well. Dude could literally just jump right off a speeding motorcycle like it was nothing, stand up, dust himself off, and be ready for another take. Dude was straight up suicidally fearless.
He did. But unlike the one in this video, they’re a lot of stunt that looks just as dangerous as this one that are shown around on Reddit with the same tag line but that are mostly optical illusions. For example another famous one where he seems to hang from the needles of a clock on top of tower, where he’s actually just a few feet above ground but a clever camera angle makes it looks like he’s a 100 feet above the street.
