Dar Allen Robinson (March 26, 1947 ā November 21, 1986) was an American stunt performer and actor. Robinson broke 19 world records and set 21 "world's firsts."[1] He invented the decelerator (use of dragline cables rather than airbags for a "high fall gag",[citation needed] or a stunt calling for a jump from a high place) which allowed a cameraman to film a top-down view of the stuntman as he fell without accidentally showing the airbag on the ground.[2] This was displayed in his fall from the hotel in the movie Stick. The original decelerator can still be seen on display in Moab, Utah.
