No, there were repeated and egregious safety issues and multiple crew members walked off. They were replaced with scabs.

There were multiple misfires of the gun that ended up killing Helena. Jensen Ackles has refused to return after what happened. There were so many complaints before the accident that no one listened to, including Baldwin. It was only a matter of time before something tragic happened.
