Did MGM consider the liability cost of having to face action against it if somebody got injured or killed? They probably did, but it was still a big risk.

They almost seem like the ancestors of football team cheerleaders (though they usually do their routines safely on the ground).

I honestly don't know if liability was in their corporate vocabulary. I should do a write up on all the early stunt men that died on set during productions in the 1920s.
