Woah... I wonder if this was a planned scene, or if she was just messing around on the bike?

That's terrible to hear.

Is it sad? Of course. But these people do very dangerous jobs and sometimes things just go wrong.

Twilight Zone was my first thought, too. Maybe the most grossly negligent example as well.

Another film that lost a stuntman (a decorated vet and prodigious parachuter) was The Right Stuff.

Hmm, I just watched The Stunt
Man last week (no one replied to my topic). It was about a crazy director helping a fugitive escape from police but in return, he had to do stunts for the director's movie. Thinknthe movie did a good job of showing you how much prep goes into stunts but how despite all of that, they're very dangerous and susceptible to chance
