The Problem

You are a stuntperson preparing for the next great daredevil trick. What should this trick be, and what needs to be considered as you prepare for it?

What goes into creating the next big stunt?

Students will decide why a specific stunt should be chosen (publicity, world records, excitement, etc.), and what factors (planning, safety, regulations, etc.) must be considered for the stunt to take place.
