It bounces a second time to about 6 feet high before striking the man, who is knocked backward and hits the floor.<\/p>\n The prop then safely comes to a slow stop.<\/p>\n He is seen being attended to by other cast members, but was able to stand back up with help after the incident.<\/p>\n The 25-minute show debuted in 1989 originally as part of Disney-MGM Studios theme park. It went offline for a couple of years before coming back in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t
