What does a stuntman do?

A stuntman or stunt person does everything behind the scenes yet in full view to truly make the movie stars shine. Their daring feats of human strength and skill defy all odds and often also gravity or belief in achieving inconceivable live action caught on camera with ground breaking physical and mental prowess.

Stuntmen literally put in the hard yards by performing stunts, on land, water and in the air, that are often too dangerous or physically intricate for the film star they are posing as to even contemplate, let alone achieve.

What qualifications do you need to be a stuntman?

Stunt people are natural-born adventurers and risk takers. An aura of invincibility pervades their presence and, as such, supreme self-confidence is an ideal starting point as a stunt training qualification.

But you don’t need to be in peak physical or metal condition in order to take part in a stunt academy experience offered online at Adrenaline. Participants who have pre-existing medical conditions, however, should consult Adrenaline at the time of booking to assess suitability for a stunt academy program.
