No one wants to be thumbs down stunt guy.

I just saw this tonight, good movie!

Advocacy for a best-stunt-ensemble academy award sounds swell and all, but what’s to prevent that from leading to a stunts arms race that will simultaneously lead to more work and prestige in the field and absolutely lead to more people getting hurt?

Same in wrestling.

Same anywhere that reporting an injury means lost pay.

The NFL is not a role model

Sounds like something that someone with a head injury might say...

Thank you for this, an aspect of the industry not very talked about

Unfortunately this is a fairly common trend across several industries. Where people will decline different forms of aid because they can't receive it without damaging their careers.

I’m fine coach. Put me back in!
