Unfortunately, this happens. For example, during the filming of Three X's, Diesel's stunt double died. While performing a car jump from a bridge, the director DID NOT LIKE the stunt and asked for an extra one. take....on the second take the stuntman crashed, the first “failed” take was included in the film.
