Ken Carter (stuntman)

Ken Carter (stuntman)

Ken Carter was a Canadian stunt driver. In 1973? he launched his most ambitious project by attempting to jump the Saint Lawrence Seaway in a rocket powered car at a point where the distance was over one mile.

He was the subject of a documentary called The Devil at Your Heels.

It is reported that after the failed attempt chronicled in the documentary he returned to stunt driving and in 1984 he attempted to jump a pond in Ontario, Canada. During the jump his car had a malfunction and Ken crashed badly but vowed to try the jump again. Several months later he did, and was killed in the attempt.
