Dani Archer, age 25, is the closest most people ever get to being an action hero. How does she accomplish that? Well, the simplest way she can: She plays one on TV!

Sort of!

Dani is regarded as one of the most reliable, enthusiastic stunt performers in Chicago's growing television and filmmaking industry. There's no action set-piece too demanding, no scene too risky, no fight choreography too complex for Ms. Danielle Archer to tackle -- the more high-octane, the better.

This holds true even outside of work. Rarely a month goes by that Dani doesn't find time for an Ironman Challenge, rock-climbing excursions, weekend trips to SCUBA dive, or even the simple joy of practicing her urban exploration (more popularly known as parkour) somewhere in the Chicago GMA.

Her most beloved activity, however, has always been the same: Skydiving.

At least, until recently...
