A minute's life! The young employee put himself in the crossroads. The giant replica stone fell off the rails.
Hello, I'm one day talking about a thousand stories, every Monday at about 21.20, and we're going to talk about air, survival, environment, and living, and what I'm offering is probably called survival, because survival is consciousness and good decision-making, and the example I'm going to tell you is the courage of an employee who puts himself in a rock to change direction.
This heroic event actually happened in late December 2025, but it was at Walt Disney World in Florida, USA.
Courage event recap at Indiana Jones Stunt Show
Where: The "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!" show at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Walt Disney World, Florida.
Scene: It's the famous opening scene from the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark," where Indiana Jones has to run away; a giant replica of a rock (Prop Boulder) that rolls after.
What happened was unusual: During the show, a replica of a rock weighing about 180 kilograms (or 400 pounds) made of rubber and foam formed, moved, fell off the rails, forced, and gestured to roll off course heading in a direction watched by a large audience.
Heroes Minute: A Disney employee (Cast Member) named Robert Herrick, who was a stuntman and was in the scene, decided in a split second to get in the way of a rolling rock to slow down and change direction so that it would not roll into the audience in front of it.
Results:
He was hit by a model stone and was injured. He reportedly suffered head injuries (broken head and bleeding), abrasions, and a fractured vertebrae until he had to wear a temporary splint.
But his actions were successful, and no audience was injured in the incident.
Praise: Video of this incident was circulated throughout social media. And Robert Herrick was regarded by viewers at the event and netizens around the world as a "hero" who saved people's lives without worrying about their own safety.
The truth about "180 kilograms of replica stones."
Although this stone is a prop made of rubber and has air or foam inside to make it look heavier and safer than a real stone, with a weight of 180 kilograms moving at speed, it still has enough impact to cause serious injury if it hits the audience directly, so Robert's decision to cross it was bold and actually prevent serious harm.
