Among the failures for which Twentieth Century Fox was cited for include failing to assess the risks of the stunt, failing to allow Harris to wear a helmet, and failing to set up barriers that would have kept the stunt rider’s motorcycle inside the film set.
A Fox spokesman took issue with the report and, in a written statement, insisted safety measures were immediately stepped up following the accident. Harris, 40, died when she apparently lost control of her motorcycle and crashed through a plate glass window. The slain stuntwoman was doubling for Zazie Beetz’ heroine Domino, though after the accident, the scene in question was scrapped.
At the time, Deadpool 2 star and producer Ryan Reynolds tweeted a statement, saying in part he and others were “heartbroken, shocked and devastated,” but that their grief pales in comparison to that of Harris’ loved ones. “My heart pours out to them — along with each and every person she touched in this world.”
