Fireball At Taurus Stunt Awards Show Destroys Stage

Friday 21 May 2004, by Webmaster

NBC reports an accident at the fourth annual Taurus World Stunt Awards that Sarah Michelle Gellar attended.

A stunt, which was performed at the fourth annual Taurus World Stunt Awards at Paramount Studios, created a bigger fireball than had been planned and resulted almost in the total destruction of the platform stage.

Towards the end of the show co-host Carmen Electra pulled a cigar from host Dennis Hopper and threw it at a predetermined arae, where it should have ignite in a mock explosion, but instead produced a fireball, whose heat was felt in the first row of the crowd.

Nobody was injured and the stunt even thrilled the crowd, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, and there were just a few, who realized that it had gone awry.
