3. Jason Statham

The adrenaline-packed flick The Expendables was filled with stunts and a bunch of Hollywood’s macho actors. Sly Stallone wanted to live up to the tough-guy image and asked co-star Steve Austin to punch him as hard as he could. The former wrestler obliged and Stallone ended up with a hairline fracture in his neck. To fix this break, he had to have a metal plate inserted into his neck.
In the third installment of the series, Jason Statham narrowly avoided death while performing a stunt. He was driving a three-ton truck when the brakes suddenly gave out and it plunged into the Black Sea, sinking rapidly. Luckily the production crew had taken the doors off for easier filming, and his background as an Olympic-quality diver helped him escape and swim to safety.
