26 May 1975 x-ray of Evel Knievel's spine and broken pelvis, dated the day of his ill-fated Wembley Stadium motorcycle jump in London. The x-ray is hand-labeled ''Knievel Evil [sic] / 26.5.75''. Knievel, who is in the ''Guinness Book of World Records'' as the survivor of the most broken bones in his lifetime, broke his pelvis in the jump, but famously walked off the field, declining a medical stretcher and saying: ''I came in walking, I went out walking.'' X-ray measures 14'' x 17'' in near fine condition.
