Playing a superhero might sound pretty cool but it's clearly a job that comes with its fair share of danger!
Batwoman star Ruby Rose has taken to Instagram this weekend to reveal that she suffered an injury on the set of the Arrowverse series which resulted in her needing some serious surgery.
In the graphic video below, we see what the actress went through in order to avoid paralysis.
The operation actually took place a couple of months ago so she's clearly fine now and ready to continue shooting The CW series which launches on The CW this Fall.
Needless to say, if you have something of a weak stomach, then you're probably best off scrolling down and just reading what Rose has to say about what happened. The gist, though, is that
"A couple of months ago I was told I needed an emergency surgery or I was risking becoming paralyzed... I had herniated two discs doing stunts, and they were close to severing my spinal chord. I was in chronic pain and yet couldn’t feel my arms."
That sounds pretty nasty and we're obviously glad to hear that she's now on the road to recovery!

"I’ve kind of grown with this character," says Benoist, who originally played Supergirl on CBS before the show was moved to The CW.
"It took me a long time to actually feel that strength [of being a superhero]. I feel like if you don’t feel it from the inside out, it’s not going to translate."
"I get to be the Flash on TV, surrounded by all these other superheroes and it’s something I never want to take for granted," Gustin says when asked what being The Flash means to him.
"[When] they offered me the job [on Arrow], if they had said, ‘Yeah, you can have the job, but you have to pay us $5,000 per episode just to be in the show’ I would’ve been like, ‘Yeah, okay. Sure, I’ll do that,'" Amell says, reflecting on being cast as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow when the show launched in 2012.
"Arrow was the most important thing in my entire life by a wide margin. And then I got married, and it became the co-most important thing in my life. Then my wife and I had [our daughter], and Arrow dropped to number three, but I f–ing care a lot about it. I really, really do. I think about it all the time."
"I didn’t know what I was getting myself into," Lotz says, reflecting on being cast as Black Canary in
Arrow.
"I remember talking to my friend and was like, ‘I don’t know. I look terrible in this costume.’ She was like, ‘It doesn’t even matter how you look. All that matters is how you feel. If you feel good, you will look good.’ I was like, “Yes, I feel good. I look good. Let’s do it!'"
"I feel like up until now I haven’t really been given the opportunity to play a character that has these dynamics of such severe trauma and such heartbreak and betrayal and loss," Rose says of her role as Batwoman.
"She’s heavy. She has a really heavy heart for a lot of very valid reasons."
