Comic-Con Stuntman Recalls Daring Rescue of Woman From 14 Floors Up

Comic-Con Stuntman Recalls Daring Rescue of Woman From 14 Floors Up
 San Diego Comic-Con is a yearly event where fans get to dress up and pretend to be superheroes, but this year a team of stuntmen really did come to the rescue of a person in need.
On Thursday, a team of professionals from the appropriately named company Stunts 911 were in a parking lot situated next to a condominium building in downtown San Diego. In a phone conversation with Yahoo! Movies on Saturday, stunt coordinator Gregg Sergeant said they were on a scaffolding about 30 feet in the air prepping a stunt for a party for the film "Kick-Ass 2" where they would light someone on fire when they first saw a woman standing on the outside railing of a balcony on the 14th floor in an apparent suicide attempt.
Crowds assembled on the ground, at first believing it to be a promotional stunt for Comic-Con. But when it was clear that she was genuinely in danger, the Los Angeles Times reports onlookers shouted out "Don't do it! Don't jump!"(See More)
