Cripes, those SyFy movies are dangerous

[wraithfodder]

It seems most Stargate actors are off doing wretched SyFy movies in out-of-the-way (aka cheap) locations, and now one of them was badly injured in the process.

Corin Nemec was in a boat crash in Belize, and broke his femur in three places (!)and lost a lot of blood. Luckily, he survived. Others, including the lead actor, were injured. No mention of names. Full details at http://7newsbelize.com/sstory.php?nid=24537.

Gads, think it's time to bring all these flicks back to filming in the States/Canada where there are stricter laws and regulations...

Hope Corin recovers; a break that bad could leave a permanent injury.

Yikes! I've seen it on other places now too, but your post was the first I heard of this at the day you posted it. How awful.

John Barrowman also once almost was killed while filming the movie "Shark Attack III" (he was young and needed the money) in Bulgaria. He was supposed to dive into and out of the submarine, which was full of water, but after he had gotten in and closed the entrance the other hatch did not open. He could not go back where he had come from either, so he was stuck. He had only 2 minutes of air left in his bottle. Thankfully they realized he was not coming out and went down to get him. That really could have ended badly and we would have had no Torchwood at all :(

And do you know the story about Benedict Cumberbatch being kidnapped and almost killed in South Africa? We wouldn't have a Sherlock either, then... you can read it in his own words here:

Who would have thought acting could be so dangerous?
