Two stunt guys doing what I consider to be a rather benign stunt.

In this case, they were using a real stunt man. It was a very dangerous stunt.

And here you can see this parasite in action, like in an acrobatic maneuver.

Yakima Canutt really formed the stunt fight.

That's an old fashioned, hard, gritty, physical stunt.

The key to these acrobatic maneuvers is algorithms, designed with the help of mathematical models and control theory.

I've been a professional stunt man for 13 years.

This is the first stunt woman, Rosie Venger, an amazing woman.

We can't be killing camera men. We can't be killing stunt men.

And aerial stunts. No aerial stunt would be the same without skydiving.

I'm a stunt coordinator. And as well as perform stunts I often design them.

I wouldn't say his stunt double. There's a crazy rig that we built for this.

And I hope that you will agree with me, it is the greatest stunt on Earth.

It is learned that Yo Yo is more than a sport but also one of the hardest and most entertaining hand acrobatic sports with the most patterns in the world.

Now you may think this is just a thrill seeking trip, a pleasure ride, just the world's biggest stunt.

It's critical now that when a car crash happens it isn't just the stunt person we make safe, it's the crew.

While it could be a real natural outgrowth of race blindness, suspicion might linger that it was a public relations stunt.

He worked with John Wayne and most of those old punch ups you see in the Westerns. Yakima was either there or he stunt coordinated.

Talking of dangerous stunts and bringing things slightly up to date, some of the most dangerous stunts we do as stunt people are fire stunts.

I'm extremely excited to be given the opportunity to come and speak to you today about what I consider to be the biggest stunt on Earth.

It's a frightening piece of equipment for the novice stunt performer, because it will break your legs very, very quickly if you land on it wrong.

Water, sanitation and hygiene are also linked to many other diseases that kill children or stunt their development, including helminth infections, dracunculiasis, trachoma, cholera, fluorosis and arsenicosis.

I don't really need it because I've been doing this stunt for audiences all over the world for the last eight or 10 years, taking fatal doses of homeopathic sleeping pills.

Because stunts are obviously very dangerous, they're very expensive, and there are a lot of stunt scenes that you cannot do, obviously, because you can't really allow the stuntman to be seriously hurt.

At his day job, Steve Truglia flips cars, walks through fire and falls out of buildings pushing technology to make stunts bigger, safer, more awesome. He talks us through his next stunt the highest jump ever attempted, from the very edge of space.

The fire suits of old, the bulky suits, the thick woolen suits, have been replaced with modern materials like Nomex or, more recently, Carbonex fantastic materials that enable us as stunt professionals to burn for longer, look more spectacular, and in pure safety.

Paul Rothemund writes code that causes DNA to arrange itself into a star, a smiley face and more. Sure, it's a stunt, but it's also a demonstration of self assembly at the smallest of scales with vast implications for the future of making things.

Now, one thing which we did for a laugh was to create a slightly more complex stunt scene, and one of the most famous stunts is the one where James Bond jumps off a dam in Switzerland and then is caught by a bungee.

Mental health services should offer something more than having our feelings chemically suppressed, or having our children s difficulties sitting still controlled by amphetamines (which, apart from teaching children that problems are best solved with drugs, stunt growth by an average of one centimeter per year).

But our chances of ensuring a more sustainable world would be higher if we had not allowed ourselves to be blinded for the past decade by the combination of the public relations stunt known as the Kyoto Treaty and the idiocy as usual known as the Bush administration.

But all eurozone governments need to demonstrate their own commitment to fiscal consolidation in order to restore the confidence of markets and of their own citizens. Recent studies show that once a government s debt burden reaches a threshold perceived to be unsustainable, more debt will only stunt, not stimulate, economic growth.

Fukushima is likely to stunt the appeal of nuclear power in a way similar to the accident at the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania in 1979, not to mention the far more severe meltdown of the Chernobyl reactor in 1986. If the fallout from those incidents is a reliable guide, however, nuclear power s advocates will eventually be back.

What I'd like to do first is take you through a very brief helicopter ride of stunts and the stunts industry in the movies and in television, and show you how technology has started to interface with the physical skills of the stunt performer in a way that makes the stunts bigger and actually makes them safer than they've ever been before.

There is a growing risk that the new Chinese leadership will interpret a heavier US presence in the region as an attempt to contain China s rise and stunt its growth. We have already seen a series of worrisome confrontations in the region, pitting China against Vietnam and the Philippines in the South China Sea, and against Japan in the East China Sea.

I'll go you one stranger than that In 1974, during the production of a weird comedy sequel to The Maltese Falcon, called The Black Bird, starring George Segal, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art had a plaster original of the Maltese Falcon one of the original six plasters, I think, made for the movie stolen out of the museum. A lot of people thought it was a publicity stunt for the movie.
