10 On-Set Injuries That Forever Changed Actors

While filming a scene for French horror director Pascal Laugier’s latest movie Ghostland, up-and-coming Canadian actress Taylor Hickson (Deadpool, Aftermath) was required to beat her fists against a pane of glass. One hundred per cent real glass, it should be noted, as apparently no one thought that the use of sugar glass might be a little safer.

Acting on Laugier’s instruction, Hickson began to pound the glass even harder causing it to shatter and seriously cut her face in the process. The actress was rushed to hospital where she received 70 stitches but was left with a permanent scar.

Quite rightly, Hickson is currently suing Ghostland’s production company Incident Productions for failing to provide adequate safety measures on set. Her lawsuit states that the accident has not only caused her physical injury and mental distress but also resulted in a loss of income during the time it took to recover from her injury and her struggling to find steady work in the looks-obsessed film industry since.
