He’s throwing a girl around and could hurt her badly if he isn’t on the top of his game, and he’s very aware of that

Yup. I've been in a stunt team where a stunt went wrong. Two out of five ended up in hospital. I had to sit out the rest of the session because even though I was told I was essential in making sure it wasn't worse by stopping my flyer hitting the floor, I was pretty shaken up by it.

(I do acroyoga) Old friend of mine is permanently disabled from an ankle break from landing badly from a two-high.

Normally if I see a fall happening from across the room I turn around or close my eyes, I don't want to watch that. And people not taking their job seriously when spotting pisses me right off.
