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.
The boulder was found to have the same rights as the park goers and by halting its progress he violated the terms of his contract to allow for a “fun and inclusive” environment for the boulder.
Thus he was terminated without severance.
