Unnecessary Death Of A Stuntwoman!!

[piggynose]

a female stunt person died on the set of deadpool 2, because the scene required that she wan't to a wear a helmet, sadly she died of head injuries.
surely in this day and age, they could have with camera trickery removed the helmet for that scene??

Surely if
///she wan't to a wear a helmet///
she should have refused to do the Scene without one.

//she should have refused to do the Scene without one.//
Had she done so, she would have found it hard to get further work as a stuntwoman.

She also wasn't an experienced stunt person, she was a racer and this was her first film, which begs the question of if it's ever a good idea hiring people slightly outside their normal remit to do stunts.

There's more to this story, but no mention of the absence of a helmet being responsible for her death.

Tom Cruise does all of his on stunts, he is well respected and has a great sense of achievement.

Let's not "Health and safety" ourselves into a corner

surely stunts are tried and tested over and over again, and health and safety is of the utmost importance. if not, then the likes of tom cruise would've been killed by now.

Tom Cruise was injured when doing a stunt a couple of days ago.
