The worker is "recovering" after he was seen on video being knocked off his feet by the 400-lb (180kg) rubber Indiana Jones prop.

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.

      And near the end of the week, the first case of Zika virus was found in Florida, which they thought might turn into a major thing (it didn’t).

      I owned an ice cream store at the time, and it couldn’t have been timed worse. It happened in the very week when the summer tourism boom takes off each year, and cranks for the rest of the summer. It’s when a business like mine makes the biggest profit of the year, and it just…never happened.

      By the end of the week, all my customers in the hotel business were saying that EVERY phone call was a cancellation, and their companies were telling them to lie, and say that everything was going great.

      By the end of the season, my summer increase never happened. It was Orlando’s year without a summer.
