[LivingtheDream]

the Orlando Sentinal is reporting that a stunt performer in LMA was injured today .... here's the link http://thedailydisney.com/blog/2010/02/disney-stunt-performer-injured-during-show/

Not really newsworthy..

Next thing they'll reporting about is the 500 kids a day which drop their ice cream bars and cry..

Breaking News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A 5 foot tall mouse and his girlfriend were seen roaming around the MK today hugging children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there no other news for the sentinel to report?

Glad to know he's ok!

LMA is unquestionably the most intense and riskiest Stunt Show ever created, and it all comes down to the hard work put in every day from the best Stunt Crew in the Theme Park world, the Studios Stunt Crew!

Has TDO cut more show safety budgets lately?

There's no Safety System for Jumping in mid air onto a Water Ski.

Alot of the Stunts DO come down to talent and manly stuntman spirit.
:lol:

"Landed incorrectly on a leg".

This is news?

Brett Favre would have kept going . . . .:lol:

When I saw this post I think I had the usual first reaction. After reading the article however, it's more along the line of "Man falls out of boat, hits water...."

 

[BrerFrog]

Was that even worthy of reporting? It was a minor accident, things like that must happen more than ten times a day in a site as big as WDW.

If it can be construed as a sleight against Disney, they'll report it!

Especially when you have posters willing to make the next leap in sensationalism for you. Which brings us to...

Do you have evidence that safety budgets for other shows have been cut?

I'd agree this isn't really newsworthy, the CM involved would have known that he was in a dangerous job, and even the best stuntman can get injured on the job with all the safety controls in place occasionally. This is why stuntmen get paid really well, because every stunt could technically be their last.

A stunt performer suffered a non-serious injury!?

 

[alphac2005]

Ugh

While it's hard to argue that the quality has gone anywhere but down over recent time at Walt Disney World, these stories that every time someone trips over their feet who's a Cast Member are ridiculous.

How many (countless) work injuries occurred for decades before the local press decided to start covering every trip, fall, and bandage in their pages? :hammer:Welcome to the world where there is a vast amount of information, but the true, important stories never seemed to be covered, rather the unimportant.

Brett Favre would have kept going . . . .:lol:

Yes, but he would have held a press conference first and invited all of his family, retired for a week and then held another press conference to say that he would have another press conference when he decided whether or not to come out of retirement!
