A worker at Walt Disney World is “recovering” after being injured by a 400-lb (180kg) runaway fake boulder prop in an incident that was caught on video, the Florida theme park confirmed.
The incident took place at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! during a live recreation of a famous scene from the film.
Video shows the boulder rolling towards the audience as a staff member jumps into its path, preventing it from reaching the crowd.
I expect that won’t be necessary. Disney has the opportunity to get good PR out of this. All they need to do is sing this worker’s praises, parade their hero around a bit, compensate him appropriately, pay for all medical needs, etc. All together a small cost for some good press and a happy ending.
