She says the arm was supposed to lift up at the last second, but that didn\u2019t happen \u2026 and the equipment ended up slicing her arm and shattering the bone.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cb-b6835d3df1e1384843b41e00f52da6db\" class=\"canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink \" readability=\"33\">\n<p>Eventually, it had to be amputated, and Jackson says she was in a coma for 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cb-9eea38410f3c86b1be50b2a33af9abdc\" class=\"canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink \" readability=\"41\">\n<p>In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the production company \u2014 Impact Pictures \u2014 fires back, saying Jackson rehearsed the stunt twice before a final run-through, and she was given every opportunity to speak up if she was uncomfortable with anything. Impact says she did not.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cb-89b750fb640e2e546c1e707b283f8288\" class=\"canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink \" readability=\"35\">\n<p>IP also cites a report issued by a South African insurer which says Jackson was riding the motorcycle faster than rehearsal, and she could have avoided the collision with \u201ca mere throttle-off or use of the excellent brakes.\u201d The company says it has footage to prove it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cb-cf1ff8ece8faa89f62359e4cdf2b1721\" class=\"canvas-block canvas-block-permalink canvas-text-block canvas-text-block-permalink \" readability=\"37\">\n<p>Jackson blamed it on Paul and co. alleging their insurance policy wasn\u2019t up to snuff to cover her injuries.
