One of Chester Bennington's friends was almost killed this past weekend during a July 4th stunt in Las Vegas. Hundreds of people flocked to the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino to watch magician Steve Wyrick perform his much-hyped “Death Drop”. Chester shackled him to a box that was going to be lifted over a set of spikes and set ablaze. Wyrick promised fans he would escape before the box crashed on the stage. Medics and firefighters rushed in and freed a stuntman after the fire raged out of control. Wyrick escaped the shackles without any injuries.VIDEO
