Question About Bourne Stunts

This may be considered spoiler-ish, so I will pose my question below --

I saw The Bourne Stuntacular several times last week. Now, this could just be an old guy's failing memory, but I thought one of the stunts involved a freefall from maybe 20-25 feet above the stage. Did that get edited out of the show? At the point where I thought this would happen, the guy overpowered by Bourne just fell over unconscious and that was it. If this particular stunt does still happen, could someone post exactly where in the show it is. Thanks.

Even more spoilery:

They were still doing the freefall in Feb. IIRC, it's when they're fighting along the rooftops in the desert town location, from a tall round tower set piece. The is freefall down through a trapdoor in the stage.

Edited: Now that I think about it, the guy who gets beaten up by Bourne on the Dubai apartment balcony did not fall last week. In the past, he did fall, complete with "Aaaaaah!!", but the showrunners must have removed that element. I don't think I could have missed him falling from only a few rows into the audience,

We noticed this last week as well. Not sure whether it’s a permanent change to the show or just something temporary? (Or even something dependent on particular actors?)

I theorize that the required personnel and/or equipment are not available for the time being, assuming that this stunt hasn't just been written out of the show for good.

There’s usually two falls a show, so if the first one doesn’t happen when they’re in the warehouse then the second one probably won’t? Hard to remember what I’ve seen since it’s been a little bit but I def remember a few weeks ago noticing the second fall wasn’t there. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were having issues with the floor opening there?

Both free falls happened today. Must have fixed whatever the issue was.

Thank you for the update. I will be there in a few weeks and look forward to the 'classic' version.

Not all actors are versed in falls. And I'm sure the right staff have to be there. One of our regular traveling companions was in the shoe acfew years.
