The Inside Story from National Geographic Photographer Joel Sartore's Studio

Daredevil Doctor Danger Hurt

June 26th, 2009 | Category: After the Shoot | Posted By: Joel

Of all the characters I met while doing State Fairs last summer, none impressed me more than Greg Carpenter, aka ‘Dr. Danger’. One of the last of the true dare devils, Greg made his living going from town to town and doing death-defying feats at public venues. At the Iowa State Fair, Dr. Danger not only lit himself on fire, but also jumped a car through a wall of fame, crashing into a stack of cars on the other side. Sound dangerous? It is.

Last Saturday the risks caught up with him when a car jump went terribly wrong in Abilene, TX. The vehicle he was driving made it to the pile of cars that absorb the energy from his jump, but then it literally fell sideways off the pile, landing on the driver’s side and putting Greg in very serious condition at Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene, Texas.

Not only does Greg need your thoughts and prayers, he could also use your money. As a professional dare devil, he cannot get health insurance.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated.  You can send them to:
