Good guy Radcliffe. David Holmes was Daniel’s stunt double for the first six Harry Potter movies, and he was set to be his stunt double for the final two movies

David Holmes was Daniel’s stunt double for the first six Harry Potter movies, and he was set to be his stunt double for the final two movies, but while testing out a flying stunt (famous for being a very dangerous stunt in itself) for Deathly Hallows Part I, he was thrown against a wall, and fractured his neck. The incident left him paralysed for life from the chest down, with only limited movement within his arms and hands. Basically, he never let his disability affect his life, and he’s become an Appeal Ambassador for RNOH, the largest orthopaedic hospital in the UK, and he launched Ripple Production company with two friends who are also tetraplegic, specifically releasing several podcasts aimed at people who have suffered similar injuries and allowing them to cope.

That really sucks man. Can you imagine? Being in the prime of your life, you're a stunt double, and then BAM. It's all over and you're stuck in a wheelchair.

That's one of the dangers of the job. You have to be aware of these kind of things being possible when you go into any job that has "stunt" in it's name. It still sucks, but hey.

Sticky this ****

#133 to #13 - SageGreybeard (02/19/2015) [-]

yeah, it sucks, but let's look at the positive.

from the looks of it, he's now got a lifelong friend in daniel radcliffe. the kind of friend where danielle's hosting a party for the world cup, and dave's not even invited. he's just expected to be there like ******* family.

sucks man but it's a risk you gotta know you're taking when you get into that business

He knew the dangers going in.

#32 to #21 - lordogames ONLINE (02/18/2015) [-]

Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that it sucks.

Well it doesn't sounds like it sucks as bad as an innocent person in a hit and run and becoming paralyzed. It sucks for the stunt double, but it doesn't suck as bad knowing it's his own fault for choosing such a dangerous occupation.

"The circumstances surrounding a life-changing injury make that person's injury less important than an identical one, with a person who is worse off"
I can't help but feel that changing a few words would make that a feminist comment.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
It matters that you don't just give up.” - Stephen Hawking

I heard somewhere that Hawkings cheated on his wife. I guess when he was looking up it was into skirts assuming what I heard was true of course, I just can't pass up a pun opportunity

when I was 19 I had an accident that crushed my t6 and fractured t7 vertebra. That left me paralyzed from about the chest down. After a long stay in various hospitals and months of rehab I learned to walk again and recovered about 98%. The odd thing is that you slowly get used to it. You kind of slowly forget how convenient it was to walk, stand up to grab something above you, or even roll over in bed.

#120 to #26 - answer (02/19/2015) [-]

I'm glad you made almost a full recovery m8, that must have been one hell of a tough journey

Ah, the wonders of the human organism.
We are hardwired to get used to almost everything, not only does it keep us our minds efficient, but also helps in preventing suicide.

You give him your bitches and he gives you double that number of bitches. 1B(bitch)=2B 2B=4B 3B=6B and so on. You can only do this once I'm pretty sure.

Wow, he probably feels really guilty for that... even though it's not directly his fault...

Glad he still keeps in touch, hope he continues to do that. I'm sure he will, he seems like a good guy.

Yes sir, glad there are people who actually enjoy Wakfu.

#51 to #48 - chilljohn (02/18/2015) [-]

I had watched the entire first season on Netflix, and I absolutely loved it. Sir Percedal and Nox are my favorite.

They have a season 2, if you care to watch it somewhere online.

It's pretty great.

I don't think this has anything to do with guilt, I think D. Radcliffe just doesn't want anyone to reduce his friend Dave to just a paralysed person.

I would feel at least a little bit responsible if someone had gotten hurt like that for me. Daniel didn't choose his stunts and it was Dave's job after all but I don't know, in his place I would feel really bad.

#57 to #18 - discobleach ONLINE (02/19/2015) [-]

it's a job. they were both doing their jobs.

#34 to #18 - lawlight (02/18/2015) [-]

he's not the one who chose to put this stunt in the movie he's just doing his part as an actor and the other guy was doing his job as a stunt.
It's horrible that something like that happened but it has nothing to do with the actor
you could say that he got hurt because of Potter but not because of Daniel

#65 to #34 - hydraetis (02/19/2015) [-]

He already acknowledged the exact point you just tried to make.

He's not saying "Daniel should feel guilty for it". He's saying "I'd feel a little guilty even though it wasn't my fault"
