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.

    400 fucking pounds?

    I’ve been to Disney World. I’ve seen the Indiana Jones show. At one point a dude literally picks the boulder up with 1 hand cuz it’s just foam and the show was more about showing how they do stunts than just the stunts themselves.

    Why do they have a 400 pound one now?

      So that if it rolls out to the crowd to crush and kill a family Indy will look way cooler. And look, it worked. That guy and his compressed spine look cool as fuck.

      The way the dude’s body bounced off of it, it definitely looked like it was 400 pounds.
