The stunt coordinator on the Kill Bill movies has broken his silence on a disturbing recent allegation made by Uma Thurman regarding a crash during production that left her injured....
"No stunts of any kind were scheduled for the day of Ms. Thurman's accident," states [Keith] Adams in an email to THR. "All of the stunt department was put on hold and no one from the stunt department was called to set. At no point was I notified or consulted about Ms. Thurman driving a car on camera that day."
"Had I been involved," Adams continues, "I would have insisted not only on putting a professional driver behind the wheel but also insuring that the car itself was road-worthy and safe."

... video of the crash indicates that the then-30-year-old ragtop [car] was without roll bars, shoulder belts or head restraints. Thurman's head whips backward and hangs over the low seat back after the crash. It's unclear whether there was a lap belt or whether Thurman was wearing it if there was.
"That could have been a death by decapitation," veteran [stunt performer and coordinator Andy Armstrong said]. "The car could easily have rolled over [or] the camera could have flown forward. It was irresponsibility on a mega level."
