Find out which Bagjump airbag—AirPit Gymnastics, AirPit Standalone, or All-Round—works best when it comes to action stunts. 

In the world of movie and television stunts, few things are more important than choosing the right safety gear. When it comes to landings, an airbag is a critical element that gives performers the confidence to leap from ledges, dive through windows, or crash into a carefully planned fall. 

Now, with so many stunt types and unpredictable filming conditions, how do you know which airbag fits the right scene? 

This week, we sat down with some experts in the stunt industry and discussed how Bagjump products gave them the confidence they needed to create some of the best action scenes—and how they chose the right airbag for their production needs. 

Three Bags, Three Purposes 

With so many options on the market, it is hard to know exactly what you need. Stunt companies know the conditions they are filming in, and the job of Bagjump is to understand what those conditions are and how our products can be the solution. 

When it comes to stunts, we identified three products that can make a difference depending on the situation: the Bagjump AirPit Gymnastics, our AirPit Standalone, and our Bagjump All-Round Airbag. 

Bagjump AirPit Gymnastics 

Perfect for Practice and Choreography 

The AirPit Gymnastics airbag, or APG, is exactly what its name suggests. It is the perfect tool for rehearsal and practice in a controlled environment. This airbag is soft, compact, and ideal for performers learning a new fall or perfecting the choreography of a wire-assisted stunt. 

Let’s also be honest— the AirPit Gymnastics isn’t designed for live shots or dramatic impacts. We have other products for that. It’s there when performers need to train safely and do it repeatedly. In some stunt training studios, the Bagjump AirPit Gymnastics is often the first airbag a stunt performers encounter. 

Bagjump AirPit Standalone 

Perfect for Stunt Versatility 

For stunts that make it into the final cut—such as falls from balconies, parkour-style jumps, or mid-level dives—the AirPit Standalone is a favorite. It’s incredibly easy to set up, and stunt coordinator Pat Romano has more than 300 movies of experience and told us a bit about his experience with Bagjump. “Our Bagjump has been the ideal product for these mid-level heights,” he said. “In these types of situations, filling the room with wires and cables to hold the actors is very impractical. On the other hand, landing on a Bagjump is by far the best solution.” 

Many consider the Bagjump AirPit Standalone the go-to solution when time is tight and safety can’t be compromised. 

Bagjump All-Round Airbag 

Perfect for the Big Shot 

Engineered for high falls, extreme impacts, and headline-worthy stunts, the Bagjump All-Round Airbag is the favorite for those wanting to make the impossible possible. This is the bag that companies use when someone is jumping from a rooftop, crashing a car, or taking the scene to the extreme. 

The Bagjump All-Round is built for high impact. With its dual chambers, torpedo-style air release valves, and edge guards, performers feel confident they’ll land in the safest way possible—even from 60 meters up. 

Pat also mentioned that this kind of setup significantly increases risks. “Most companies use cables to hold the actors at these heights,” he said. Still, he also noted that with proper training, a Bagjump can make a difference. “For the movie The Fall Guy, during the helicopter scene at the end, an airbag was the preferred setup,” he told us. “That scene has actually set the world record for the highest fall in these kinds of setups,” he concluded.
