I'm not too sure about it. A cousin of mine does talk a lot about stunting and what he earns out of each stunt shows but i doubt if it can be taken as a serious profession.
And i do think it very dangerous to take it as a profession. Once you have a family of your own you can't risk breaking bones and dislocating your spine just for a mere pleasure of stunting. Sorry no offense to the bike stunters.
What do you think of it?

hi divkris, how are u? yes, stunting is a dangerous profession. once i met a stuntman in a shooting. i asked him that how easily he gets ready for a lethal task. he said that he must have to do for his family bcoz he had some responsibilities to his poor family. i don't think that they do it only for pleasure.

I'm doing good shibhan, thankyou. Hope the same there at your end.
When a person indulges into stunting it more of a passion but later with family responsibility and social burden one does make a choice.
It is like they are too much into the stunting busines that they feel that they can work only with this skill. But i do understand the pathetic condition in which these people and their family live :(

Yes, I agree with you. It is not the right job for a family person. I can understand a teenager or young guy works choose stunting as job for sometime due to his passion, but I think it should not be contiued. I think stunters are paid well. Do you have any idea about their wages?

I don' think these stunnters are paid well. This is why i ask is this a good profession where you actually risk your live (and others as well).
It is just that some a lucky and get paid well and this is instigates to choose this field, even though they know that they may not be as lucky as the others.
It is not easy to be a professional stunted men.They will pass hard practicing until you can see them.I will not cheer my closers to work this job.It very risk for their life.Excepted Jacky Chang or Japanom(Thailand),they are professions.
