Dar Allen Robinson (March 26, 1947 – November 21, 1986) was an American stunt performer and actor.Robinson broke 19 world records and set 21 "world's firsts." He invented the decelerator (use of dragline cables rather than airbags for a "high fall gag", 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.
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.
