Why is this news? I guess because of a string or accidents at Disney lately. But, come on. A sprained ankle at a stunt show? With the amount of people and employees at the resort, it’s only inevitable that someone is going to get hurt.
“Why is this news?”
Because of all the replies it generates,
yours included.
It’s the same when a Disney employee is arrested for anything..It always makes the news as “Disney employee arrested for shoplifting”…even though their job has absolutely nothing to do with their crime. Why does the media feel we always have to know when a Disney employee does something wrong we must know that they are a Disney employee? Why can’t we ever see “Target employee gets arrested for DUI”? or “Publix employee involved in hit and run”?
I am interested because I attended the show and wanted to find out if the stuntman was okay. I’m glad he is!
