Misc.: Rick Rojatt

A minor, temporary celebrity of the late 1970s was Rick Rojatt, a daredevil who was known as The Human Fly.

Rojatt, present whereabouts unknown, always appeared wearing a fly-like mask that completely covered his face and often sported a cape when performing his feats of daring. He apparently modeled himself after the comic book figure of the same name.

Rojatt was not remotely so well known as his rival daredevil, Evil Kneivel, but once broke a Kneivel record by jumping his rocket-powered motorcycle over 27 buses. Another of his stunts was wing-walking.
