It's a movie set, play acting, there should be no live ammo on the set.
do we know there was "live ammo" on the set, assuming you are not referring to blanks?
If that info has been posted here, verifiable info, I must have missed it.
Without live ammo on the set, the incident could not have happened.
Brandon Lee was killed with a "blank." Plastic pieces entered his abdomen and he died as a result.
The only sure thing that would have prevented this is basic firearm safety procedure.
Brandon was shot with a normal projectile. At some point before the shooting, dummy rounds were used for video close-ups. The dummy rounds were normal rounds pulled to dump the powder then projectiles re-seated. At some stage the trigger was pulled on one and the squib load pushed the bullet into the barrel.
The next shot was the blank that was aimed at Brandon and the stuck projectile exited the barrel.
Yup, which is why checking the bore is part of the SOP now.
Brandon Lee was a real freak accident that is used in the Swiss cheese model of system failure we use today to try and avoid "stacking" little bad things and ending with a really big bad thing.
This was negligence and stupidity, with a dash of arrogance and a sprinkle of diversity hiring.
