Reports indicate that a similar accident occurred at the show last year. Multiple videos and eyewitness accounts suggest the boulder struck the performer and continued rolling over him before other staff members intervened. The exact timing of the viral videos is unclear.

The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is a 30-minute show that recreates stunts from the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark. It features explosions, daring action, and other special effects.

This incident shows how even well-controlled performances can carry real danger for cast members. Stunt work is high-risk, and it’s a reminder of the effort and bravery behind the entertainment we often take for granted. What do you think about this accident? Share your thoughts in the comments.
