"I've been doing my own stunts on the show for 10 years," Hargitay told People. "I fell wrong, basically. I collapsed my lung doing a stunt." Hargitay, 45, underwent surgery in January and returned to work on SVU shortly thereafter. She then checked back into the hospital on March 3 for discomfort related to the injury. Hargitay's rep said she underwent "routine tests," and the star reported back to the set on March 23. Despite the scary couple of months, Hargitay said she's completely healthy now. "I'm 100 percent," she said. "I'm back to my old self."

thanks for posting the article. Now we know what happened. I for one was concerned on what caused this. Maybe she needs a stunt double for next season??

thanks for posting the article. Now we know what happened. I for one was concerned on what caused this. Maybe she needs a stunt double for next season?? I think they have always had stunt doubles but they will probably use them more now. Here is a quote from Mariska regarding this issue from the May issue of HEALTH Magazine which features Mariska. "Like, [Law & Order: SVU co-star] Chris Meloni is a super-stud and works out every day, but we were talking about how we used to do our own stunts. Always. For 10 years, we said, “We have to do our own stunts.” We’d have to be badasses. I don’t know what we were trying to prove. And now we’re both like, “No way! Let the stunt double do it!” The fact is, we can get hurt, and we do get hurt."
