[gixxerjeff]

The thread title says it all.
Evel Knievel never had anything to worry about.
Frankly, I wasn't sure this guy was ever serious. I guess he was.

[SuperMike]

Oh shit this thread scared me. I thought it was about the real Mad Mike.

I mean, RIP Mike the rocket guy. :rose

Pretty sure flat earthers forums, or whatever, are now full of conspiracy theories that he knew too much and was taken out.

Whether round or flat (he was a flat earther), it's still Terra FIRMA...

Godspeed Mad Mike :rose

I don't know if this is good or bad for flat earthers

 

[KooLaid]

I liked Mad Mike, guy had the guts to put it all on the line for his beliefs, crazy or not.

Shame.

RIP Mike.

I don't know mad Mike, .. he did make me smile. I can still get along with others and respect them even though I don’t prefer them as a person or agree with their beliefs.

There is nothing to respect. They want attention and to feel special or are paranoid conspiracy peddlers.

Two parachute failures with two rocket launches, one fatality, both daredevils.
