Love at First Fall is a true story about what happens after everything breaks. From near-death accidents and war zones to Hollywood stunt sets, Aaron Crippen built a life around surviving the fall. As a professional stuntman and soldier, danger was routine. Failure was familiar. Pain was part of the job. But the hardest fall didn’t come from fire, combat, or concrete.
