Vision Pro ‘Adventure’ Shoot Linked to Fatal 2024 Microlight Crash

New reporting raises questions about Apple’s safety oversight of a high‑risk filming series.

Overview

  • Reports Thursday said British paraplegic adventurer Claire Lomas was being filmed for Apple’s Vision Pro headset in its Adventure series in Jordan in July 2024 when her microlight crashed.
  • She was being actively recorded with cameras mounted on the aircraft, and she died from her injuries within weeks at age 44.
  • Crew members had warned about unsafe hours, harsh desert conditions and limited training during production, and Apple responded by periodically sending a health and safety representative.
  • Apple has not commented, and Atlantic Studios said it cannot comment because a coroner’s inquest is ongoing and has been delayed.
  • Apple and Atlantic continued the project after the crash with a Colorado shoot in August 2024, and five Adventure films have been released with no new episodes since last year.
