Fun fact: stunt women cannot wear much padding because they usually wear tight dresses.

Stunt women are just stunt men wearing extra padding in the chest and hip area. 😌

In the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony, there was a video in which James Bond takes the Queen skydiving. The Queen’s stunt double in the skydive scene was a bloke with a beard (which was invisible from the distance it was shot at)

That’s not always true, especially these days.
Back in the day it was much more common to have men dressed as women doing stunts, but stunt women are extremely common now.

Yup. I remember seeing a behind the scenes clip once where the stuntman got a Styrofoam insert on his back under the sweater, as well as pads for knees and elbows. In the clip of him actually falling you can see him rolling in a manner that ensures only the padded parts of his body are the ones that hit the stairs particularly hard. His head never touched anything.
