Four 9-1-1 Performers Injured in Season 10 Stunts, Including Star Oliver Stark
Oliver Stark broke his ankle in late August and required surgery, while three other stunt performers were also hurt during production of the ABC series.
Four performers sustained stunt-related injuries during production of 9-1-1 Season 10, according to Deadline, putting the ABC series' safety record back under scrutiny.
Star Oliver Stark broke his ankle in late August while performing a stunt and required surgery, but has since returned to work on the series. The stunt involved a firefighter swinging from a car over a set piece to a ladder truck.
A stunt double sprained an ankle rehearsing the same maneuver and declined medical treatment, so no injury report was submitted, per Deadline.
Two additional injuries followed in subsequent weeks, including one stunt person who injured their arm on jagged metal and required a hospital visit and stitches. Within the last two weeks, another stunt performer went to the hospital with a broken rib and a minor compressed lung after an awkward landing on a platform simulating a ground collapse.
Earlier Safety Concerns
