Even though police and ambulances arrived quickly, the movie star tragically died.
His 49-year-old son Leroy called his dad a “legend” and said he was working on upcoming movies.
He told the Daily Mail Australia, “He died in a very good mood and with a lot of drive.” He was blissful.
Not much else is known about the accident that happened in New South Wales on Thursday.
Page was in a number of well-known action movies, such as The Man from Hong Kong, Deathcheaters, Roadgames, and Stunt Rock.
He had most recently worked on Three Thousand Years of Longing and Furiosa, a prequel to Mad Max that will come out later this year.
Friends in the business have paid tribute to the stuntman, who first appeared on the scene in the 1970s.
“Grant Page was Australia’s first stunt performer and my friend for fifty-two years,” his former manager Brian Trenchard-Smith said yesterday.
“I’ll really miss him. He was an amazing person who lived a completely honest life.
“Age makes us heavy, gravity pulls us down, and death waits for us if we dare too much,” Grant said, “Not necessarily, since he was able to change the rules of physics and probability.”
He had a “extraordinary ability” as a stuntman, Trenchard-Smith said.
“He’s the guy you get to dodge the cars, slide down the cliff on fire, jump into the water and fight the shark.”
