Does the director really have the expertise to evaluate how safe a stunt is? Seems like the wrong person to give that responsibility to.

I believe this evaluation is usually done by a stunt coordinator instead. This is an experienced stunt performer that finds the right person for each stunt, and communicates with the performers on any safety issues that come up.

That’s like saying a cto should be aware and competent of the technical details of everything happening in his organization
