One of the tricklest jobs in Hollywood is making sure ---- that when the movie hero crashes over a cliff in a flam- ing car, he crawls out alive at the bottom.

Jack Erickson is one of the trouble-makers and fixers who has that job. It's all in a day's work for Erickson to act off an explosion, that doesn't hurt anyone, start a fire that doesn't scorch anything, collapse a bullding, blow up a car or ar- range a traffic accident.
