In a recent episode of the "How Rude, Tanneritos!" podcast hosted by Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, actress and producer Candace Cameron Bure opened up about a terrifying near-death experience she had while rehearsing a stunt on the set of the hit Netflix series 'Fuller House.'
Bure revealed that her character, D.J. Tanner, was preparing to undertake an "American Ninja Warrior"-style course set up in the Tanner living room. However, during the rehearsal, it became apparent that the zipline, a crucial element of the stunt, was not correctly set up. There was no safety stop at the end of the line.
As Bure completed the zipline and came to a stop, the entire metal mechanism, which was very heavy, slid off the track and came dangerously close to her head, missing her by just an inch. Reflecting on the incident, Bure expressed her gratitude, acknowledging that a slight shift in her weight during the landing could have resulted in a severe injury or even death.
Following the incident, the stunt coordinator responsible for the mishap was dismissed, and the director decided to scrap the stunt altogether, insisting that the entire set be redone for the safety of the cast and crew.
Since the conclusion of 'Fuller House,' Bure has devoted herself to creating options for audiences seeking family-friendly, faith-based films. In an interview with Great American Family CEO Bill Abbot, Bure explained her desire to "create an oasis in a cultural desert" by offering content that promotes traditional values and incorporates faith.
However, Bure has also faced immense backlash for expressing her Christian beliefs, especially regarding her stance on prioritizing traditional marriage over LGBTQ storylines. In an episode of her own podcast, 'The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast,' she shared her experiences of being targeted by cancel culture.
Bure acknowledged the tremendous challenges she encountered, both personally and professionally, as critics attempted to silence her for her beliefs. She emphasized the reality of cancel culture and the impact it can have on individuals in the public eye.
Despite the obstacles she has faced, Bure remains firm in her convictions, recognizing that having a public platform means being prepared for criticism and "fiery darts" thrown her way.
The incident on the 'Fuller House' set serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers faced by actors and crew members in the entertainment industry. It highlights the importance of proper safety measures and protocols being in place to protect those involved.
As Bure continues her work in providing family-friendly and faith-based content, her resilience and determination to stay true to her values in the face of adversity serve as an inspiration to others.
