This afternoon at the Spiderman stunt show, the stuntronic didn’t attach from its cable and crashed into the building.

Incredibly embarrassing, but also interesting to know that the wall appears to be designed to breakaway.

I mean technology is going to technology. I assume it's a robust AA that can hopefully... somewhat handle a fall like that?

I thought the same, those panels simply fell off, they didn’t get crushed or demolished, I thought it looked clear they were designed to do exactly what they did in the event the stunt tronic came up short.

According to the site I will not name:
"By the time we visited, it looked like the incident never happened.
A Cast Member confirmed the incident to us and noted that that the building’s panels are breakaway and designed to be replaced easily since they’re “used to The Hulk wrecking things."
And the show was already up and running again this afternoon, panels all back in place. I would't be surprised if they already had padding in place to soften the landing in case this happened.

Thank you for this. It's hysterically funny and exactly the Friday afternoon laugh I needed to send me into a sunny summer weekend!
I've watched it twice, but am now saving it to watch again this evening to kickoff the Sundowner Cocktail Hour. Cheers to the damaged twink and everyone else!

But not to worry! The slats were replaced the same day, and Spider-Man flung through the air without issue.

I was going to make a joke about them already starting to tear down the new land but since the wall broke away so easily and was replaced almost immediately on the same day, this is definitely a contingency that they prepared for in testing. I'm sure they'd rather have a couple dozen, easily replaceable wall screens on hand instead of designing that portion of the facade as something more sturdy and risk damaging the stuntronic. Which I imagine must cost more to replace.
