‘Game Of Thrones’ Stunt Accident Video Leak Raises Questions About Safety On HBO Franchise
HBO has continued to defend stunt safety standards on the 'Game of Thrones' franchise after Deadline obtained a leaked video of an on-set accident.
Irlam contests the allegations made in Pilgrim’s lawsuit, saying some unspecified claims were “simply untrue and unfounded.” The Emmy-winning stunt coordinator’s position is that he has worked on more than 150 productions over 20 years, and during that time has only overseen two accidents involving significant injury. In a High Court legal document filed in June 2019, Pilgrim alleged that he suffered his ankle fracture when performing a stunt involving riding a 16-foot wooden wall as it fell forward to the floor. Commenting on the two Game of Thrones accidents, Wayne Michaels, Casey’s father and a respected stunt performer who has doubled for James Bond, said: “One can see a disturbing pattern of behaviour and repeated systemic failings that would not be tolerated in any other industry.”
