Most of the stunt persons go unrewarded for their risky efforts put in for action-packed movies. We enjoy the actions to the max, but think of all the risks that these people take to create those scenes. Do you think they should be included in the award ceremonies/events and given proper recognition?

What do you mean by go unrewarded? They do get paid, and their names appear on end credits. Some actors even go forward to reward them personally.
I'm in support of the stunt performance gaining more recognition but I think they are paid for the job. The recognition is just like a cherry on top and it is just a matter of choice depending on who they are acting for. Nevertheless , they could be included in award ceremonies to highlight their skills and the risk they are taking in the film.
Sometimes, just getting paid is not enough, for life-threatening stunts that their perform, which the so called "heroes" cannot even imagine doing (but end up on stage with a trophy), deserves better public recognition in my opinion. All soldiers are salute-worthy, however, we have medals and highest awards for a reason.
They do have insurance, right? In the entertainment industry, they give more importance to face value. That's because they pull the crowd, they make money for the producer/investor. People don't watch movie because of stundman or lightman, they watch movies for actors.

Absolutely, they should be recognized. Stunt performers risk their lives to make scenes thrilling and believable. I’ve often watched action films and thought, “That wasn’t CGI, that was someone really jumping, crashing, or falling.” Their skill and courage deserve proper credit and awards.
