evidence: There was tragic news from the set of Fast & Furious 9 on Monday, when Vin Diesel’s stuntman reportedly suffered a serious head injury at the Warner Bros Leavesden studios in Hertfordshire. The accident is said to have happened when a safety cable snapped as the stuntman leaped from a balcony for a fight sequence. "The stuntman fell at least 30 feet – maybe a bit more," a source told The Sun. "Vin Diesel was seen on set seconds after. He looked ashen, totally in shock and blinking back tears. He saw what happened." [...] For Vin Diesel, it’s not the first time that a film production has been rocked by a tragic accident. In 2002, his stuntman Harry O’Connor was killed on the set of xXx. And, though unrelated to filming, the Fast & Furious series’s original lead star Paul Walker was killed in a high-speed car crash during the production of Fast & Furious 7 – a horribly ironic accident that has left a spectre of tragedy hanging over the series since.
