When you watch a movie, you’re probably not thinking about how they pull off all the incredible stunts. When actors do these unbelievable stunts, we know there are probably some behind-the-scenes secrets. So, how do these actors (or their stunt doubles) perform all these tricks like flips, jumping from the top of a train, or leaping from a building?
How many times have you seen a movie character jump – or fall from a tall building? Nearly every time this happens, there’s a stunt performer, and a trampoline involved. They don’t really fall off a building. Well, not as often anymore.
The fall might be real, but when they land, it’s not on pavement. It’s on a trampoline, and the trampoline that Hollywood stunt performers film with and practice on is often a MaxAir.
Professional stunt performers train on MaxAir Trampolines because they are designed for safely completing complicated maneuvers and tricks. We know that most people think of trampolines as outdoor play equipment for kids to jump up and down on or gymnastics equipment, but trampolines are an integral part of Hollywood films (and Broadway too). The stunt performers (and directors and producers) can’t pull off their magic without them.
