High Tower Death

On September 21, 1978, 26-year-old A.J. Bakunas, a stuntman who specializes in high falls, plunges to his death after a 323-foot leap from the partially constructed Kincaid Towers in Lexington, Kentucky, while doubling for George Kennedy in World Northal's Steel, starring Lee Majors and Jennifer O'Neill. Bakunas correctly hits the airbag below, but it ruptures on impact, killing him instantly. Witnessing the horrific event‚ is Bakunas' father. Ironically, the scene had already been filmed previously, with Bakunas successfully jumping from a ninth floor window. But when rival Dar Robinson topped Bakunas' previously-held record for a high fall, a feat the latter had attained while doubling for Burt Reynolds‚ in Hooper (1978), Bakunas returned to Kentucky for the second, fateful leap. Upon completion, the Kincaid Towers became home to a life insurance company which subsequently went bankrupt.
