EMPLOYEE INJURED IN STUNT FALL

A stunt performer was performing in a Wild West show at an amusement park. As part of the show, he pretended to be shot and fell to a mat from a ladder on a wooden water tank that was about 4.9 meters high. The 1.8-meter by 4.0-meter, 610-millimeter-thick mat was made of foam rubber. During the stunt, the employee partially missed the mat, and his back and head struck the asphalt surface. He was hospitalized with a concussion and back injuries.
