Stuntwoman Dayna Grant has been working in New Zealand for 25 years and is now having emergency surgery for brain aneurysm and spinal issues. Grant’s family has posted to the New Zealand crowdfunding site GiveALittle.co.nz requesting help from fans.
While two tweets from OneRing seemingly frame the accident as happening on the set of the Lord of the Rings series, GameSpot has learned that is not the case, as the crowdfunding site does not specify which project she was working on while this happened. Additionally, Grant’s fall on the show happened back in March, and she was diagnosed with a mild concussion. She was eventually given the all clear to go back to work. Since the fall happened, Grant has worked on four more productions, and runs a stuntwoman training camp on weekends.
