Disney Cast Member Injured Stopping Runaway Boulder at ‘Indiana Jones’ Stunt Show

Disney says the worker is recovering, with the boulder effect paused as a safety review proceeds.

Overview

  • During a Dec. 30 performance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a roughly 400‑pound boulder prop jumped its track and rolled toward the audience before a cast member intercepted it and was struck.
  • Disney confirmed the employee received immediate medical care, is recovering, and that no guests were injured.
  • Audience videos shared on TikTok and Reddit show the prop veering off course and witnesses reported the worker appeared to have a head injury before walking with assistance.
  • The company says the affected show element has been modified, and performances proceeded without the boulder stunt as the safety team reviews what happened.
  • Some social posts identify the worker and cite stitches, but those personal details have not been confirmed by Disney.
