The worker is "recovering" after he was seen on video being knocked off his feet by the 400-lb (180kg) rubber Indiana Jones prop.

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.

    If they’re able to sit upright they’ll be given seated light duty tasks like putting hangers on clothing and gluing popsicle sticks on Olaf butts to make fans for the guests. It’s honestly the best workers comp experience I’ve ever had,

    I… Wha… Are you for real? It’s not “worker’s comp” if you still literally have to work. Holy shit, how did we get to the point where people think this is a good way for a corporation to treat employees?

    This is literally “denying sick leave” like the comment you replied to said.

      If you sprain your ankle, why wouldn’t you be able to work? Obviously the dude in the video will get time off, but if you have a foot injury, why would desk duty not be okay?
