För dödsfall används inte bildmaterialet eftersom det skulle vara extremt obehagligt, liksom bevis i eventuella utredningar eller rättegångar i oavsiktlig död.
Ett exempel på detta skulle vara Brandon Lee , son till Bruce Lee, som oavsiktligt sköt och dödades på uppsättning av The Crow som detaljerad på Wikipedia :
In the fatal scene, which called for the revolver to be actually fired at Lee from a distance of 3.6 - 4.5 meters (12–15 feet), the dummy cartridges were exchanged with blank rounds, which feature a live powder charge and primer, but no bullet, thus allowing the gun to be fired without the risk of an actual projectile. But since the bullet from the dummy round was already trapped in the barrel, this caused the .44 Magnum bullet to be fired out of the barrel with virtually the same force as if the gun had been loaded with a live round, and it struck Lee in the abdomen, mortally wounding him.
I Trivia-delen av The Crow står det:
The footage of his death was subsequently developed and used as evidence in the investigation into his death. As part of the lawsuit settlement, the footage was later destroyed.
För skador beror det verkligen på om aktörerna (kan eller) bestämmer sig för att slutföra scenen och fortsätta spela eller inte, till exempel var Leonardo DiCaprio berömd aktuellt skadad i Django Unchained och fortsatte scenen innan man sökte medicinsk behandling.
