A Disney World employee was injured while heroically preventing a 400-pound fake boulder from hitting the audience during a live performance at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida. The incident occurred during the 'Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!' show, where a crew member bravely rushed in front of the boulder, putting his arms out to deflect it. The boulder, weighing approximately 400 pounds and moving at high speed, hit the man in the face, knocking him out of frame but successfully deflecting the fake rock. The show has had a history of injuries, with a previous incident in 1990 resulting in a fine from OSHA after three performers were injured in separate incidents. Despite the danger, the prop is still used in the stunt, and the show's safety team is reviewing the incident to modify the element of the show. The injured crew member is recovering, and the remaining shows on Tuesday were canceled, but the production reopened on New Year's Eve as scheduled without the boulder being used during the Dec. 31 shows. This incident highlights the risks involved in live performances and the importance of safety measures. But here's where it gets controversial... Some argue that the show should be canceled or modified to prioritize audience safety. And this is the part most people miss... The show has had a history of injuries, and while the crew member is recovering, it's unclear exactly what kind of injury he received. So, what do you think? Should the show be modified or canceled to prevent further injuries? Share your thoughts in the comments!
