In 2007 Travis Pastrana jumped out of an aeroplane somewhere over Puerto Rico. He didn’t have a parachute, but it wasn’t a problem – he was meeting a friend mid-air to harness himself into one. A few years later, he jumped 52 cars. Which was cool. But not cool enough. So he jumped 16 buses. When the bike still had some fuel in the tank, he jumped the fountain at Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas.
