It takes a lot of time, resources and craftsmanship to build those insane action sequences we see in the Fast & Furious movies, and most of the time, everything runs smoothly with no massive hiccups to speak of.

But because there's an inherent danger in playing around with explosives and souped-up cars, things can occasionally go wrong, which is exactly what happened on the set of Fast & Furious 9 in July 2019.

While the movie was shooting at Leavesden Studios in the UK, a stuntman suffered a serious head injury, forcing the crew to temporarily halt production. While details are scarce, it's likely that the stuntman in question was a crucial part of whatever sequence was being filmed, which is why the whole operation had to cease.

While the production was only shut down for a single day, time really is money on a movie of this size, and that short stoppage could easily amount to thousands of dollars in losses for the studio.
