stunter
Does dangerous feats
A stunter is someone who performs stunts—typically a motorcycle rider who does wheelies, burnouts, and other tricks, or a professional who doubles for actors in dangerous scenes.
The term appears most often in motorcycle and action-sports communities: The stunters shut down the highway with their show.
In entertainment, stunt performer or stuntman/stuntwoman are more common than stunter.
