I've not been hurt on set but I've been hurt a fuck ton training.

I've had my foot dislocated, toes dislocated, broken my nose a few times, fucked up my elbow really bad recently and was down for a few months... It's rough. But a lot of that is having to deal with people who're not treating my safety as important as their safety.

    Do you mean other stuntpeople ?

    And how does one dislocate toes ? barefoot reception/landing ? don't you have special gear like stuntsocks, or is that just my fantasy

    Yeah training with other stunt people. A guy on my stunt team did a takedown where he trapped my foot, and in doing so the only way it could move caused me to get really messed up. He should never have done such a thing and I think he did it on purpose. That does unfortunately happen with some people as they're sociopaths.

    Most of the training I do is barefoot as we're on martial arts mats. I have a pair of shoes I wear for 'public' gym stunt training which prevents this, but when you're in a private team environment you don't expect that kind of stuff.
