I have no idea of what actually took place during this shoot as I wasnt there,so cant comment.
As a performer/director who works in the same field as Kink (work admired very much) I would like to give some basic insights into what happens on our shoots.
Firstly,all performers are told many times that a safe word will be used to stop everything ,code red seems common in the biz.
Should a performer say red or code red it means something is wrong and anything taking place needs to be halted immediatly.
Safe codes are used due to the fact that crying,screaming and verbal abuse are part of the plot(example stop your hurting me master)and this code is how we know the performer means what they are saying.
Of course if the person is bound gagged etc we use other methods.
I also have situations involving guys and some girls that like pain too much and are a possible danger to themself,so even using codes I have a pro BDSM Master of 20 years on the set watching everything and if he feels it has reached a limit,he will halt production no matter how good its looking.
Everyone here is trained and told what will take place in great detail,it is not uncommon for performers to have lumps/bumps,whip marks etc after filming its the nature of the job.
Summary.
BDSM and simlar subject matter is very complex work requiring staff and people you wouldnt normally find on the average porn set.
It requires great skill and observation at all times,I have watched almost everything KinK has ever produced and it seems very highly organised(although I mention again this is not related to this incident and in fact I have never worked with them)comments are based on all the behind the scene filming etc.
I hope this has given some readers an insight to how life is in the fetish world
