A frightening moment unfolded at Walt Disney World in Florida when a prop boulder from the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular show went off course and hit a staff member.

Videos of the incident were shared on TikTok and Reddit on Tuesday, showing the dangerous moment as it happened.

The footage shows the boulder emerging quickly from a cloud of smoke during the stunt-filled performance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It rolled off a rocky ledge and bounced toward the audience.

A staff member ran in front of the prop in an attempt to stop it and was knocked to the ground. Other team members quickly rushed in to fully stop the boulder and assist him, while audience members reacted in shock.

One audience member wrote on Reddit: “The cast member was able to walk but was bleeding on the head.”

Reports indicate that a similar incident happened at the Indiana Jones show last year. Videos from different angles posted online show the boulder striking the cast member, rolling over him, and prompting staff to rush to help. The exact timing of the clip is unclear.

The 30-minute stunt show is based on the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark and follows the adventures of Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood. It features daring stunts, explosions, and other special effects as part of the performance.

This incident highlights how even controlled stunt shows can carry real danger for performers. Safety is crucial, and it’s a reminder of the risks behind the entertainment we enjoy. What do you think about this accident? Share your thoughts in the comments.
