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.
Watch the video…
There’s no way that thing weighed 400 lbs!!! It bounces like a balloon! Dude just didn’t brace himself at all and got bounced
Heavy things can bounce if they have the right properties. That ball looked to be going somewhere between 5-10 mph and that guy went down fast. That momentum had to come from the ball, and that ball has to weigh considerably more than he does to hit with that much force at that speed.
i agree it does not weigh 400lbs
While your username might imply some sort of expertise, I looked at weights for a ball of this size and could get below like 288 kilos no matter what the ball is made out of.
Even just a rubber ball of 1cm thick rubber and filled with air would weigh closer to half a ton.
idunno. this one is 13 lbs.

Idk what you’ve linked, but remember it can’t just be a big thing you fill with air, it also has to be able to roll without deforming.
Specially since air also has mass and weight
