How to fix it
Cut injury and vomit moments, use professional and controlled settings, and don't prank children.
Good to know
Look for serious injuries or near-death accidents as the main subject, pranks involving fake deaths, weapons, terrorism or sexual acts, prolonged distress of children, eating until vomiting, and minors in dangerous acts. Lesser outcome (limited ads): high-risk stunts in a non-professional setting. Does NOT count: fail compilations without graphic injury, professional stunts in controlled settings.
