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 really don’t like the idea of a out of court settlement.
So, you do some criminal shit but then if you have enough money, and the other side agrees to settle, you get off scott-free? No crime happened? Wtf?
That’s an easy way to twist the crime statistics too. So, justice is like playing some board game?
I would agree with you if there was a criminal element to it, but Disney wasn’t determined by the police to have done anything criminal, just negligent. So that goes to Civil Court, where it’s only about money.
If it were criminal there would be a prosecutor and the state would be charging Disney. Sounds like it was a civil suit seeking damages - which they got.
Civil and criminal are 2 entirely separate processes.
