ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Stunt performer

Okay kiddo, do you know what stunts are? They're when people do really cool and dangerous things in movies or TV shows, like jumping off of buildings or flying through the air. Well, a stunt performer is a person who does those cool and dangerous things.

But wait, there's more! Stunt performers have to be really smart and careful too. They have to practice and practice and practice some more so that they know exactly how to do their stunts without getting hurt. They also have special equipment to keep them safe, like helmets or special padding.

Being a stunt performer is kind of like playing pretend, but for grown-ups. They get to be a different character and do things that are really exciting, but they have to be very careful and stay safe while they do it. It's like being a superhero, but in real life!
