Steel (also known as Look Down and Die)[1] is a 1979 American drama film directed by Steve Carver and starring Lee Majors, Jennifer O'Neill, Art Carney, and George Kennedy.
Bakunas was fatally injured while doubling a fall for George Kennedy's character "Big Lew" Cassidy.
[4] Bakunas, who had already filmed a jump from ninth floor of the Kincaid Towers, wanted to surpass fellow stuntman Dar Robinson's then-new world record for highest free-fall (286 feet),[5] a record Bakunas himself had previously held (230 feet).
[6] Bakunas jumped 323 feet from the top floor of the building, reaching a speed of 115 miles per hour.
However, the landing airbag burst upon impact, and Bakunas died fifteen hours later from damage to his hips, shoulder blades and lungs.
