" Accident Today At Lights, Motors, Action

I went to MGM today. My sister hadn't seen the stunt show, so we decided to watch. It was almost at the end of the show. The good guy on the motorcycle went up the ramp to do a jump. When he hit the second ramp, it looked like he clipped the edge. He went head over heels and hit is head/neck on the ramp. He wasn't moving.

One of the bad guys on another cycle came over after and ended up falling in an attempt to miss the first guy. He seemed okay. He got up and ran to the first guy. People came running from everywhere.

They came over the speakers and said to do emergency evacuation procedures. The CMs started telling the audience to exit the stadium.

They brought out a tent like thing and placed it over the stunt guy that was down. Then, they took big paper things and wrapped them around the tent poles so that the audience couldn't see what was happening.

I hope the stunt guy is okay. He came down very hard on his neck. Very scary. Those guys really earn their pay."

Disney has tried to keep the incident very hush-hush. I've believe this is about the 8th incident at the show

Wow, that's so sad and scary at the same time!

Bless his soul for doing all that in the name of entertainment and making people happy while at WDW.

I blame the happiest celebration on earth. What belongs out of WDW, stays out of WDW. I hope his family will be okay.

csmarc34 · 05-27-2006, 10:16 AM

Where did you hear that he died?

k_peek_2000 · 05-27-2006, 10:24 AM

He was there. But then again he might of been unconcious, that happens alot with motorcycle/motocross/supercross/MotoX(half dirt half street) ect.

barfownz · 05-27-2006, 10:39 AM

This sucks. I am sad that this happened. I'm sorry this happened.

Chatterbug · 05-27-2006, 10:50 AM

This is very sad news. I hope it isn't true about his passing. It is a risky business that he has chosen. Many people do chose a profession that has high risks of injury and even death. In any case he was doing something that most likely he had a passion for. I sympathize for his friends and family.

Very sad to hear about this.

Well, they've done an excellent job keeping it hush-hush. I just finished searching the Orlando Sentinel looking at all stories with the word Disney in them from May 18th (the day before the disboards post) until today, and there has been nothing. There were so many stories on Disney... I think if somebody lost an eyelash there it would be in the paper!

Since we don't know his name, I can't search Florida death records to confirm it.

Where did you hear that he died?

Guys, since this is a rumor at this point, I'm going to put this into the Rumor Mill. If something comes to light (like an article or other official statement), I'll move it back to Off-Topic. Thanks

This is a rumor?? That the guy died?
