Rocket car!
The tale of the ill-advised rocket car stunt in Mad Max.
Found this in a clickhole of Aussie film news.
Warning: contains words.

it was a widely shared story in Aus at the time that a stuntman was killed in the first mad max flick but Miller left the death scene in out of respect for the stuntman
took me all of 10 seconds just now to find out it was bullshit (imgur.com/gallery/wQ5niIx)
there was a bit of that about before the internet, like the urban myth we all fervently held that Sixto Rodriguez was blind. Anyway, guests are starting to arrive and me typing is looking increasingly antisocial. good new years to you and yours. may your 2021 be an endless orgasmic wonderland of eastern promise

There is a scene in
The second one where a stuntman goes flying, rotating over and over with his arms and legs out like hes a star, and I think that guy did suffer serious injuries, but was OK for Miller to leave it in the film

Not quite in the same league
But saw a clip of making the war-rig flip stunt in Fury Road. At first Miller doesn't realise it's the dummy that has fallen out of the cab and thinks it's the stuntman

Urban Myth
There's an urban myth that Mel Gibson was killed in the first Mad Max film, but they substituted an 4rseh0le for him in real life, and nobody noticed.
