Even though Candace Cameron Bure avoided any injuries, production wasn’t willing to take any chances, and the zipline was immediately removed from the scene. According to Bure’s close friend Andrea Barber, the episode’s director, Mark Cendrowski was visibly unimpressed by the ordeal, and immediately said the entire course needed to be re-worked without it.
Barber also noted that the man in charge of the stunts had been fired, which isn’t exactly a shock. After all, ziplining across a room is hardly the craziest stunt an actor has insisted on doing themselves, and mere negligence could have caused a horrifying situation. As it is, Jodie Sweetin pointed out that the mechanism did major damage to the set when it crashed to the ground. “There was a big gash in the stage floor, it broke the stairs, it was, like … wild,” she told “How Rude, Tanneritos!” listeners.
As the “Fuller House” co-stars remembered, the assistant director, Christian Jensen had also sensed that there was a need for everyone to take some time to calm down after the harrowing incident. “We, like, kind of stopped for a couple hours,” Barber noted. Sweetin nodded in agreement, adding, “Chris Jensen was like, ‘Alright, we’re going to take a break.'”
