The answer in brief is that we want audiences and enthusiasts to ENJOY STUNTS RESPONSIBLY.
Last year we added this statement to our home page but it’s a little out of the way down the bottom, so here it is to recap:
Stunts performed or designed by our members for the screen are carefully risk assessed and managed. As are some performed by other professionals and at organised live show venues.
The British Stunt Register (BSR) does not endorse unmanaged thrill seeking activities for entertainment’s sake. Those activities, unregulated extreme sports (without careful and relevant training), unassisted non-professional ‘stunts’, daredevil displays, misuse or non-use of safety equipment, and abuse of some environments with or without permission (i.e. trespass) are dangerous and pose potential risk of injury or death.
Finally, for those who would love to emulate their action heroes, as the well worn but no less applicable saying goes, don’t try this at home. Don’t risk your own safety or that of your friends. Pop that corn and enjoy stunts on the screen, please.
