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. <\/p>\n
The incident took place at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! during a live recreation of a famous scene from the film.<\/p>\n
Video shows the boulder rolling towards the audience as a staff member jumps into its path, preventing it from reaching the crowd.<\/p>\n
“We’re focused on supporting our cast member, who is recovering,” Disney said in a statement on Wednesday. “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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The scene from 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark shows Indiana Jones – played by Harrison Ford – outrunning a giant boulder triggered by a booby trap, before leaping to safety.<\/p>\n
Video of the incident on Tuesday shows the boulder bouncing off its tracks, and then bounding towards the audience as a staff member steps into its path and is knocked to the ground.<\/p>\n
The staff member did not appear to stand up immediately, and other workers are seen running to his side.<\/p>\n
According to a blog run by the park, the boulder prop is approximately 400-lbs and made of rubber. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Disney did not confirm that the boulder was the cause of the incident, but told CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, that “a prop moved off its track”.<\/p>\n
