HAPPENINGS

Congratulations

Jonathan and Heather Arthur, son and daughter-in-law of Hampton Hall resident Rita Griffith (thank you Rita!), explained behind the scenes planning required for common stunt work, including falls, car crashes, explosions, water work, and fights.

The Arthur’s son, Chase, demonstrated how wire is used to make someone “fly back" after receiving a kick to the side. Rita’s other son, Christopher Arthur, also a stunt man, set his arm on fire and displayed how to safely extinguish.

It was a fun and informative evening. Everyone appreciated why stunts should not be attempted at home! If you’d like to see more from this evening, visit our Instagram page: @hamptonhallsc
