evidence: Harry O'Connor, who served as a stunt double for Vin Diesel in "xXx," died on the Prague set of the film while performing a paragliding stunt in his place. An experienced skydiver and stunt performer who'd joined the industry after retiring as a Navy SEAL, O'Connor reportedly collided with a pillar of the Palacky Bridge while paragliding and broke his neck in the process before passing away. It was his second effort to complete the stunt, the first of which was successful and used in the movie. [...] Hollywood isn't the only moviemaking industry where stunt actors have lost their lives. Around the world in India, where the Indian film industry is booming, stunts have sometimes left death in their wake as well. One recent catastrophe happened on the set of the 2023 film "Viduthalai: Part 1," co-written and directed by Vetrimaaran. "Viduthalai: Part 1" features a police constable (Soori) on the hunt for Vaathiyar Perumal (Vijay Sethupathi), the leader of an extremist dissident group called Makkal Padai. It's a tense crime thriller full of exciting action scenes, but one of them left stuntman Suresh dead.
