Headline: Fast & Furious producers fined $1 million after stuntman suffers 'life-changing' injuries
Caption: The incident took place in 2019 during the filming of Fast & Furious 9 at Warner Bros. studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, reports the BBC. Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecutors detailed in court on Friday that, during a fight scene on a balcony, Joe Watts' safety line became detached as he performed a stunt that differed from the one that had been rehearsed several times. The stuntman was initially supposed to be thrown over a performer's right shoulder, however, in a last-minute change, the stunt actor was told he would be thrown over the actor's left shoulder.
