Advice on a Scene

I am doing a music video in which there is a scene where a professional wrestler falls out of the ring/jumps out of the ring, or something of the sort and accidentally runs into, falls on, hits a ring valet killing her.

I need advice on how to do such a shot without using stunt people and without injuring the actress or my camera. I dont have the budget for a crane. I did think of getting a ladder, placing it in the ring for a high shot, have the wrestler jump at the valet-land safely on his feet near her. I would take a second shot, a pov shot of the valet with the camera mid low with the wrestler jumping at, or even over me & the camera. What do you think?

Thanks. ALL info is appreciated.

Easier yet, if you have already worked out the difficutly of the ring with a crowd, is kindof imply the impact. Especially if this is a rock, kinda choppy quick cut video, you could have a real big jump, maybe POV, see the shock of the valet, maybe cut to lead singer or a drum stick hitting the symbol, and then the valet on the ground, followed by the wrestler with his head in his hands, or walking around like the defeated tough guy or whatever.

However, you idea sounds best if you feel you need the impact. I'm trying to see this in my head, I don't know if you need the real high angle, but if you can do it and you like it give it a go.
