A massive boulder prop veered off course during Disney World’s Indiana Jones stunt show Tuesday, striking a cast member who courageously tried to halt the rampaging prop.
The tense moment during the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Hollywood Studios was captured on video by an audience member and quickly went viral.
In the footage, a giant ball rolled out from behind the scenes during the show’s temple sequence. It traveled down an elevated track, hit a wall from the side and suddenly bounced off the platform.
As it hurtled toward the audience, a staff member was seen bravely running up to the boulder, trying to intercept the prop.

The cast member was then quickly knocked down by the force as other employees rushed to help him. When he got up, the back of his shaved head was visibly covered in blood.
The prop ultimately ricocheted back toward the stage and away from the audience, where staff were able to safely recover it.
