The history of stuntwork on stage and film is equally fascinating and horrifying. If Buster Keaton were alive today and wanted to do all his stunts the way he did them in the 20s, no studio on the planet would let him.
Historically, it was the stunt performers themselves who would innovate new techniques and fabricate devices to let them do stunts safer over time, requiring them to be not only capable athletes but also proficient engineers.
Injury and death do occur in stuntwork, but are much rarer than people would imagine, given the sheer number and complexity of stunts performed each year. While some may consider it morbid, there is a sentiment among stuntworkers that if a stuntperson dies during filming and the footage is usable, it would be disrespectful to not include it in the movie they gave their life to film.

Stuntsmen were actually a really big thing before film. People doing crazy stunts or at least appearing to have done them was a good way to get attractions to events. It was monetized mostly like other types of event artistry but was therefore really hard to actually monetize until television.

I wonder if they know/mention this, but: in the Errol Flynn Robin Hood (and likely others), the stuntmen wore wooden boards under their clothes, which professional archers would shoot at with real arrows. So if you're watching the movie and thinking "Wow they look like they're actually getting shot with arrows," it's because they are!
