They showed some pretty nasty scenes of stuff his father did.  I will say
that the shocking videos show AFTER it made my stomach turn some.  

Knieval made it look too easy landing that thing on the ramp..  I don't
know how much I like seeing that stuff live though.  I said to a friend of
mine "Wellll at least they didn't ask his daughter what it would be like to
be an orphan in less than 30 minutes".

But I guess it goes with the territory.  People pay good money to see
people 'defy death'.
