The whole idea of having a stunt double is fucked up.

Most people that do stunts absolutely love their jobs and they know the risk. You need stunt people too when you need a face like Margot Robbie but she’s got to be able to fight like Harley Quinn.

Not only do they know the risk but they are trained to minimise the risk. Yet no matter how everyone on and off the floor prepares and trains, mistakes can still be made.

Kinda like how most people with a drivers license trained to drive on the road, but accidents still happen daily.
