Iranian daredevil dies during stunt


29.08.05 5.20am


An Iranian daredevil died while attempting to break the world record for jumping over buses on a motorbike, state television reported yesterday.

Javad Palizbanian, 44, was trying to leap over 22 buses parked side by side when his motorbike came down on the 13th bus and he was killed immediately, the station said.

The television station broadcast the start of Palizbanian's attempt in Azadi Sports stadium the day before but then cut the footage.

"The crash scene was too disturbing to show," the newscaster said.

Minutes before, Palizbanian told his audience: "I am going to do something for my country to be proud of."


What a shame :(

Hit the 13th out of 22!
He sure miscalculated that one.
I wonder if he'll be waited on hand and foot in heaven by a dozen virgins?

Only if the local Cleric had declared a Jihad on buses.

RPG's are pretty popular over there... maybe it was "Friendly" fire?

It's a shame they never mentioned what type of bike he was trying with... I'm assuming a dirt bike of some sort... would be handy for the next person trying it to know which bike not to use... lol

He must have been on a 600. If he had a thou - he would have made it. :violin:
