Deadpool 2 Set Death Likely Could Have Been Prevented. In the days leading up to the Deadpool 2 motorcycle stunt that killed racer S. J. Harris on Aug. Watch Caved In Online Hollywoodreporter' title='Watch Caved In Online Hollywoodreporter' />Vancouver, the crew was said to be growing increasingly agitated and nervous about the potential for something to go wrong. The 2. 0th Century Fox sequels producers had been exerting pressure to have the 4. Harris, who had raced professionally but had never worked on a film, perform that days stunt because, as an African American, she was a believable stand in for Zazie Beetz, who portrays Domino in the film. But several crewmembers warned the producers that Harris wasnt ready, a production source tells The Hollywood Reporter. She was improving, but I was watching her and, oh my God, I thought, Its just a matter of time before she crashes into a wall or runs somebody over, says one stunt performer who had been training Harris the day before the crash that killed her. A member of the stunt team alerted the movies producers to these concerns but was ignored, according to the source who trained Harris. From a technical perspective, the stunt was relatively straightforward. It called for a rider sitting astride a Ducati 9. Hyperstrada motorcycle to exit a building, descend a ramp over three small stairs and stop on a nearby landing. For a stunt professional, it would have been a cinch. But Harris had never even been on a film shoot before. And the crash occurred on the first live take. The accident has drawn outrage and tough questions from the Hollywood stunt community.

BC, the Canadian equivalent of OSHA, Harris continued driving beyond the planned stopping spot on the stairway landing and continued to drive down a second ramp built over the bottom stairs and across the roadway. Still astride the motorcycle, the report continues, Harris rode into a concrete sidewalk curb, where she was thrown off the motorcycle and propelled through a plate glass window of a building. Several people were forced to jump out of the way of the speeding bike. Immediately after she crashed, many ran over to offer first aid and saw that Harris was grievously injured, according to people on the set. Producers are said to have ignored stunt coordinators concerns about the motorcyclist amid a desire for a race and gender match. Whatever happened, those who had worked closely with Harris have apparently come to the conclusion that it was likely rider error. The question for investigators is, why was she put in this position She had crashed the bike on two separate occasions days before the accident, say two people familiar with the shoot. And Harris was the second person enlisted to do the job, as the production had earlier hired another woman who hadnt performed well on the motorcycle in preparation for the stunt, a source says.
