Coupled with working in 100 plus degree heat takes a huge toll on the body and judgment.
First weekend out, we had multiple crew dropping due to heat exhaustion or dehydration, or a combination of both.
I was speaking to the stunt coordinator about the next shot and literally thought he had a mannequin in the passenger seat, until he moved. The guy looked fake and wasn't moving or sweating anymore. Soon after, he was on all fours on the freeway.
Majority of the crew was in the heat all day long. We had pallets of water and Vitamin water, electrolytes as well as pallets of Gatorade. Still, 12 hours plus in the heat is brutal.
Myself, I was in a air conditioned car all day. So at least all the stunts and drivers had their heads on straight.
