Risk protection for stunt people and the consequences of the corona pandemic: an interview with a financial expert
According to a report from www.cash-online.de, the German Stunt Association (GSA) spoke in an interview about risk insurance for stunt people and the consequences of the corona pandemic for the industry. In the interview it is explained that stuntwomen and stuntmen have to earn between 780 and 1,320 euros per day of filming in order to live comfortably. The Corona restrictions have had a severe impact on the industry, with orders almost completely lost in April 2020. The federal and state default funds were able to prevent the worst, but the major insurance companies still do not offer any insurance for pandemic-related defaults.

Risk protection for stunt people and the consequences of the corona pandemic: an interview with a financial expert
According to a report by www.cash-online.de,
The German Stunt Association (GSA) spoke in an interview about risk insurance for stunt people and the consequences of the corona pandemic for the industry. In the interview it is explained that stuntwomen and stuntmen have to earn between 780 and 1,320 euros per day of filming in order to live comfortably. The Corona restrictions have had a severe impact on the industry, with orders almost completely lost in April 2020. The federal and state default funds were able to prevent the worst, but the major insurance companies still do not offer any insurance for pandemic-related defaults. Stunt people should be covered by statutory pension, health and nursing care insurance through the artists' social insurance fund, but other insurance such as professional liability and accident insurance are just as important.
The impact of this situation on the market is that producers' reluctance leads to significantly less activity for stunt people. The uncertainty surrounding pandemic-related outages and their costs is weighing on the entire industry. Negotiating with productions for appropriate fees will become more difficult and stunt people may earn less as a result. Additionally, fewer stunt people may also enter the industry as risks and uncertainties increase. This situation could lead to a long-term shortage of qualified stunt people, which would further increase production costs as specific stunts and action scenes may not be able to be executed in the same way.
It is clear that the entire industry is affected by this uncertain insurance situation and producers are expressing their reluctance by placing fewer orders for stunt people. This highlights the urgency of finding a solution to the insurance problems in order to ensure stability and activity in the industry.
