A 20-year-old actress in Universal Studios' "Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time" show was injured this afternoon when her foot got caught in a lift mechanism during a performance.
Orlando Fire and Rescue transported the woman to Orlando Regional Sand Lake Hospital. A Universal Orlando spokesman said her injuries appeared to be minor.
The woman plays the role of Sarah Connor. She was rising onto the stage on a hidden lift, near the end of an afternoon performance, when her shoe got caught in the lift mechanism, said Universal spokesman Tom Schroder.
"The injuries are minor. She was transported to the hospital as a precaution," he said.
The show, however, was ended at that point and the audience was asked to leave. Further performances today were canceled, he said. Universal will investigate to find out what went wrong and make any necessary changes before resuming the show, he said.
At the time of the accident, she and the actor playing Sarah Connor's son John, were to emerge as the show "goes from an empty stage to a sudden appearance. It's a special effect to get our actors on stage quickly for the last scene," Schroder said.
The actress has been performing since April, he said.
