"A Walt Disney World worker in Florida was injured while attempting to stop a large runaway prop boulder from rolling into seated spectators at the Indiana Jones live show. The worker at the "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular" at the Disney's Hollywood Studios park was knocked to the ground by the 400-pound (181-kilogram) prop boulder after it moved off its track on Tuesday and started rolling toward audience members. Another worker stopped the boulder before it reached the spectators."
"One of the attraction's scheduled shows was canceled Tuesday after the accident, and Wednesday's shows were modified to exclude the prop boulder. Disney said it was reviewing why the prop rolled off the track. "We're focused on supporting our cast member, who is recovering," Disney said in a statement. "Safety is at the heart of what we do, and that element of the show will be modified as our safety team completes a review of what happened.""
A 400-pound prop boulder rolled off its track during the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida. A cast member was knocked to the ground while attempting to stop the runaway boulder, and a second worker intervened to stop it before it reached seated spectators. One scheduled show was canceled and subsequent performances were modified to exclude the boulder while the cause of the track failure is reviewed. Disney declined to disclose the injured worker's condition for privacy reasons and said the boulder element will be modified as safety reviews continue.
