13 Actors Almost Killed While Making Movies

5. Kate Winslet - Titanic

There are literally dozens of stories about the tumultuous production of James Cameron's Titanic, because when you give a notorious hard-a** director like Cameron a monstrous budget and a tight schedule, something's gotta give somewhere.

Kate Winslet was left traumatised enough by the shoot that she vowed never to work with Cameron again unless a massive payday was involved, and lo and behold, over 20 years later she's currently starring in his Avatar 2.

On Titanic, Winslet not only chipped a bone in her elbow, but almost drowned when her coat became snagged on a gate as a giant wave of water crashed over her and co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.

In typical Cameron fashion, the director reportedly expressed little concern and simply prepared to set-up the next take. Considering that Avatar 2 is reportedly water-centric in nature, we can only assume Winslet will be filming her scenes on dry ground.
