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.
What part was funny?
I thought it looked a little funny.
From the title you kind of expect the staff member to sprint to position, arms spread wide, brace for impact, and then the big collision.
Instead it is kind of like they did not expect the boulder to weigh that much, the boulder goes bonk, and he flops.
Injury is never funny, but the imagery is a little funny.
how he fell, i guess. it was just so anti-climactic. im not some sort of sadist here, its just the video subverted expectations, and many people find that sort of thing amusing. no ill intent.
