A stuntman is suing the producers of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance for over $1m in damages.Michael 'Crazy Mike' Gaboff has brought a lawsuit against the bosses of the comic book film - which stars Nicolas Cage as the titular character - after a promotional stunt went wrong and left him with life-threatening injuries.
Gaboff was left with a broken back, collapsed lungs and second-degree burns after he drove a motorbike into a lake while on fire in an attempt to recreate the flaming skulled anti-hero's antics.
He claims producers Break Media, Sony Pictures and Next Point, Inc were negligent in the execution of the stunt in April 2012 - which was organised to promote the DVD release of the movie - and his lawsuit states the producers showed "a conscious disregard of the safety of those observing the activity".
