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.


Why is recovering in quotes?
Because they’re indicating that is the exact word used in Disney’s statement.
My guess is because the amount of “recovery” needed is uncertain. Are they just being monitored for head trauma but otherwise have nothing beyond scrapes and bruises? Or do they have broken bones and a severe concussion?
