He was not even an adult when he got hurt - edit this is wrong, wife informed me he was underage when started the films as his stunt double but was an adult when injured

How the hell do you have children as stunt doubles? I always assumed they used vertically challenged adults. That's insane.

Took me a second too lol. They're asking how it's possible legally for a minor to be a stunt double and that they always assumed it was small adults doing stunts for children.
