A Disney employee threw himself in front of a runaway rubber boulder, injuring himself as he shielded guests from the 400-pound prop during an Indiana Jones themed attraction, officials at the Florida park said Wednesday.

Fans at Disney’s Hollywood Studios were all set to see a demonstration of the “Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular” when viral video captured the wild moments of the massive ball rolling off its track.

Guests appeared to be initially entertained by the mishap during a re-creation of the iconic scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark." However, their brief laughs quickly turned to concern as the huge bouncing ball barreled off its track and toward the audience.

That’s when a park employee confronted the wayward sphere, holding out his forearms and bracing for impact.

But he was no match for the faux boulder, which easily knocked him to the floor.
