Well, some still think "Art needs sacrifice", and the worst examples known to me are the occurrences while filming the old "Raven" film and recent "Deadpool 2(which I completely detest, but irrelevant)" film. I believe it got even worse than the action films of ancient times, all because the pretense (or reality) that the viewers must be surprised by more and more outstanding, terrifying tricks and stunts. All done by real people, while technology can replace them very well this age. Whether people keep getting hurt because of pride or greed of those who do not want to invest in computer graphics for their films, it does not seem to end in the days to come.

Deadpool 2 hasn't even finished production yet; not sure how you can detest it.

Some of the stunts actors did back in the silent age were pretty impressive

Old analog stunts

Some movie-goers already think there's too much CG-reliance in movies these days
