How very sad. Some of those stunts are so dangerous, and plus accidents can happen anytime.

Major shame. She was cool

That's terrible! That movie better be worth it.

The same thing happened to Olivia Jackson during the filming a motorcycle scene,for resident evil the final chapter.

Death by irony is always painful.

RIP stunt woman.

They get paid a bunch though. Have you seen their pay checks?

Well, I guess no life is worth losing over any amount of $. It is still surprising they are paid less than lead and supporting actors though!

reply

They get paid hundreds.

Yeah, even union, they do not get paid much.

"It is still surprising they are paid less than lead and supporting actors"

Why, arvin? Not saying it's entirely right, but why surprising? Does the president of GM get paid more than those who actually make cars? What about the CEO of Apple vs. those who actually make iphones?

And, NOT to sound insensitive, but some jobs entail the very possibility of being severely injured or killed.Beyond stunt people, consider high-rise construction workers, race-car drivers, high-rise window washers, firefighters, etc. One chooses to enter a danger-specific profession knowing the risks.
