| | |  Harry Potter stuntman won't walk again
Following the accident that occured in January, that injured David Holmes, Dan Radcliffe's stuntman, it has been reported that he will never walk again and shall remain confined to a wheelchair. Quote:
A friend said: "David is struggling to come to terms with the news.
The friend said: "David had done the stunt earlier that day but he said that it was harder to perform than usual and that it hurt when it was pulling him back.
"It's a dangerous stunt and David knew that. Most stuntmen get double their daily pay to carry it out.
"The stunt went terribly wrong and David was thrown so far that he missed all of the safety mats. He hit the ground very hard.
"He told crew members he couldn't feel anything from the waist down."
Quote:
A source revealed: "Greg (Stunt co-ordinator) is devastated by what has happened. He was there when the surgeons told David that he would never walk again.
It's terrible news but his family and friends are trying to offer him as much support as they can.
"He is so young and was very good at his job. But his life will be completely altered now."
The source added: "Although David has been told he'll never walk again he is still not giving up hope.
"Deep down he knows it's unlikely but it's still early days and so he's not giving up completely."
The article also states that a lawsuit is expected to arise however Holmes is to be paid until the end of the Deathly Hallows shoot, with his mortgage also being paid until a settlement can be reached.
Tom Felton (Draco) briefly hinted at this diagnosis in his interview with the Great Ormond Street Hospital. Quote:
But a friend of mine has just broken his neck and will never walk again.

This is incredibly sad and just plain awful. He has been part of HP since the very beginning. I'm just wondering if they have someone else to do the stunt for Daniel. May be they should rethink about this particular scene, right? | |

This is horrible horrible news
But the man did stunts for heaven's sakes, there is seriously nothing he wont be able to do if he only sets his mind to it. He seems like a very strong person and if he believes there is a chance he can walk again, then there is a chance.
David, if you believe then we will too!
Our thoughts and support go out to you and your family.
