It’s called a “Deadman”. A cable or rope is attached to the performer, and tied off to a solid pic-point. If the stunt rigger didn’t put a “zip”, or a bungee at the pic point to take the bite off, yes, it really sucks. Go full speed to a Dead Stop really jolts the body. Btw, on the day of filming, she won’t be going to the pad, she’ll be going to the ground, no pads. I hope this explains the Deadman”.

Just a stuntman for 30 years.
