Professional stuntman Eddie Braun successfully jumped over the Snake River Canyon on Friday afternoon. The rocket reached an estimated 400mph before its parachute deployed, allowing Braun and the ship to land safely in fields on the other side of the 1,400 foot-wide canyon.
Braun has said the rocket was identical to the model Knievel used for his failed canyon attempt on September 8, 1974.
Knievel landed at the bottom of the canyon when his parachute prematurely deployed partway across the canyon, but walked away with only minor injuries.
The spot where Knievel jumped was 1,600 feet wide.
Braun hoped his effort would prove that Knievel could have made it across the canyon if his parachute had deployed at the correct time.
