What you need for a stunt show

A stunt show needs more than vehicles and performers. Your shopping list must cover the marked performance area, crowd control, emergency response, sound, lighting and basic audience facilities. Safety equipment should be ready before the stunt team arrives, not bought during setup. Use the final audience capacity and venue layout to confirm quantities for barriers, signs, hearing protection, seating and waste bins.

Tips

Set aside enough crowd barriers and barrier tape to create a complete boundary around the playing area, with a visible gap-free route for staff and emergency access. Add traffic cones and warning signs at every vehicle, parking and pedestrian conflict point.
Plan the sound setup around the venue size: allow at least two microphones, a mixer, speaker stands, extension cords and cable reels, then secure every cable where the audience could cross it. Keep spare batteries for microphones and flashlights in the technical kit.
Put crash mats and crash pads at the stunt areas identified by the stunt coordinator, rather than placing them where they are easiest to store. Check their condition during the safety inspection and keep replacements or repair supplies available if the team requests them.
Prepare one clearly marked first aid point with first aid kits, eye wash bottles, fire extinguishers, fire blankets and emergency lights. Place hearing protection at registration or the entrance, because audience members are unlikely to look for it after the show starts.
Buy or hire audience furniture from the confirmed registration numbers: provide chairs for seated guests, beer tables or high tables for standing areas, and enough bar stools for the planned bar layout. Add waste bins near catering, the bar and exits so they do not fill up in one location.

Frequently asked questions

What safety equipment do I need for a stunt show?: Plan for crowd barriers, traffic cones, barrier tape, warning signs, safety vests, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, first aid kits, eye wash bottles and emergency lights. Add crash mats and crash pads wherever the stunt coordinator identifies a landing or impact risk.
How much sound equipment is needed for a stunt show?: For a basic show, allow a sound system, at least two microphones, one mixer, speaker stands, extension cords, cable reels and a power splitter. Confirm speaker coverage and power requirements during the technical briefing before buying or reserving equipment.
When should I arrange stunt show safety supplies?: Have the safety equipment, barriers, signs and lighting confirmed before the safety inspection and technical setup. Aim to complete shopping and rental checks at least one day before the audience arrives, so missing items can still be replaced.
Do I need hearing protection for a stunt show audience?: Yes, especially when engines, impacts or amplified sound are close to spectators. Provide hearing protection at registration or the entrance and order enough for the full audience capacity, with extra units for staff and performers who may need them.
