Harrison Ford always makes it look so easy. Tragically when stunt performer Anislav Varbanov was going through rehearsals for the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular at Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios in
Orlando, FL, things went very, very wrong.
The 30-year-old Varbanov died of a head injury while working on a tumbling role, confirmed the theme park spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez.
This is the third employee death at Disney in less than two months. In July RadarOnline.com reported on a monorail collision that killed a driver.
"We feel a sense of loss for these valued cast members," Suarez said.

Two of Disney World's famed monorail trains collided at 2 AM Sunday morning, killing one of the drivers. The trains, carrying just six guests, were leaving Epcot on one of the last runs of the night. It was the first fatal crash in the 38-year history of the Florida theme park's rail system.
Austin Wenneberg, 21, died at the scene, as park guests unsuccessfully attempted to reach the trapped man.
