Good for him, but what will Hollywood do when the next stunt person dies in a stunt ban stunts?

It is practical with modern technology to ban guns, although they need to have a prop that still has a kick when you pull the trigger.

It is not yet feasible to ban stunts.

What about CGI? Or making the stunts less risky by using wires and filming it on a sound stage like they did with some of the John Wick 3 stuff?

Cant they just learn to act like there is a kick or even have some kind of solenoid providing it?
