Ryan Reynolds lead a moment of silence Wednesday, on the set of Deadpool 2 according to sources, for stunt woman, Joi ‘SJ’ Harris. Harris died Monday on the set of the sequel while performing a motorcycle stunt.
Witnesses shared that Harris lost control of her bike during a stunt, jumped a curb and crashed through a plate-glass window at Shaw Tower. She was reportedly treated by ambulance personnel, but police said she died at the scene.
Deadline reported that she was not wearing a helmet during the scene because her character does not wear a helmet in the film.
According to friend and manager, Porsche Taylor, Harris’s first passion was encouraging women to join the sport of road racing:
“She should be recognized and known as more than just the stunt driver who passed away.”
She concluded:
“SJ is a remarkable person, and I want her legacy of being an inspiration to women who ride to continue for many more years to come.”
