Jaclyn Smith, Shelley and Cheryl Ladd on the set
of the Charlie's Angels episode "Angel Hunt", 1979
Charlie's Angels was an action-oriented TV series, so it wasn't strange for a few mishaps to happen during filming. The 4th season opener "Love Boat Angels" was reported to have had a few of them while filming at St. Thomas in the Caribbean. Anther episode, "Angel Hunt", was reported to have had mishaps while filming off Zuma Beach, California, as well.
a writeup about a mishap encountered while filming
the Charlie's Angels episode "Angel Hunt", 1979
The show's main cast - Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd and Shelley Hack - were filming a scene on a speedboat when the steering went out. The vessel could have been smashed into pieces against some rocks, but actor Paul Sylvan (who played Wilson) saved the day by diving into the water and getting a line to a rescue boat. The girls would have been killed if not for his bravery. Thanks, Paul.
