Origin[]
Evel Knievel performed extreme daredevil stunts while riding motorcycles, including jumps from ramp to ramp and over multiple vehicles. He even jumped over a quarter mile wide canyon in a specially designed steam-powered rocket, which failed to fully work right. During many of his exhibitions, he suffered numerous accidental injuries including sprained ankles, month long comas and even broke his bones more than 433 times during his career. As part of his public image, Knievel always advocated the use of proper safety equipment, such as a helmet.
Effects[]
When the user holds the handbrakes and they click together the artifact activates, protecting the user from getting harmed by extreme falls or accidents. Each bone will start to slowly weaken at different rates, until they begin to fracture.
