Crazy. How many times has that happened now? Brandon Lee. That guy from the 80s. I’m sure there’s others.
Hello, OSHA?
Yes, Lee is the one people are bringing up, but one of my favorite shows as a kid was called Voyagers, on NBC Sundays at 6pm Central… the lead actor on that show, Jon Erik Hexum, accidentally killed himself similarly, with a prop gun.. I remember the local news doing a feature on it in NOLA b/c he was first cousins with Ch 4 news anchor Eric Paulson.
During our LE\Security Augment training we underwent action using blanks in the M16's. The first thing which was taught is that a blank is still lethal. We installed clamps on the end of the barrel which held a plug in the barrel to supply enough back pressure to operate full auto as well as prevent any accidental injury forward of the barrel.Crazy.

Hello, OSHA?
Wasnt Jennifer Jason Leigh's father, killed while shooting a made-for-TV movie IIRC, on NBC, where the actor shot a scene very close to a in-movie stunt involving an actual live helicopter got wayyy....to close to him and a child actress he was carrying or holding her hand in the scene in the film and I think the helicopter's rotorblade had some mechanical issues or took some risky, unnecessary liberties, landed awkwardly or crashed close to Leigh's father, with the rotorblade essentially decapitating him almost.Yes, Lee is the one people are bringing up, but one of my favorite shows as a kid was called Voyagers, on NBC Sundays at 6pm Central… the lead actor on that show, Jon Erik Hexum, accidentally killed himself similarly, with a prop gun..

After the accident, we're told production shut down for the day.
The Brandon Lee one was really weird. That movie is kind of a cult classic too. I love the soundtrack.Crazy. How many times has that happened now? Brandon Lee. That guy from the 80s. I’m sure there’s others.

It was made about 40 years ago if I remember, in the early 1980's, was mostly produced and directed by John Landis, but under Spielberg's production company, and the ensuing controversy severely damaged Landis' reputation and marked kind of the end of his professional and personal relationship between him and Spielberg and IIRC, Harold Ramis. There was a heated, public wrongful death civil trial that didnt exactly endear Landis' to the Hollywood "in crowd" he had made considerable inroads by the early 80's.

Prayers go out to the family that lost a loved one. I hope they can heal.
Life comes at you fast.
