Indiana Jones Stunt Becomes Real When Boulder Prop Rolls Toward Audience

In a fan-favorite scene of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jones must flee from a huge boulder rolling toward him as he performs, er, "archaeological research" in a tomb.

That stunt came remarkably close to reality during a recent show at Disney World in Florida. The New York Post reports that a 400-pound rubber ball serving as the boulder fell off its planned track at an actor playing Indiana Jones and toward the audience.

Heroically, a staff member intercepted it, blocking its movement with his own body. He was injured but, Disney World asserts, is recovering. The show schedule is continuing unchanged.
