After ‘weeks of construction’ when the shooting day finally arrived, everything went ‘horribly’ wrong. The outlet suggests that the idea was for the stuntman to land on huge pillows filled with cushion and cardboard, but the bike crashed safely to the ground a few metres away. It was reportedly miscalculated by the makers. When the bike crashed, the heat and friction of the tyres resulted in the cardboard padding to spark in flames. The smoke was so bad that the team had to close the nearby ‘RAF airfield’. The outlet also suggests that fortunately ‘nobody was hurt’ but it was a ‘total catastrophe’.
