Stunt death is 3rd fatal accident at Disney World
ORLANDO, Fla. — A 30-year-old performer at Disney World is dead after rehearsing for a stunt show, the third worker to die in seven weeks at the Orlando, Fla., park.
Anislav Varbanov was pronounced dead late Monday at a hospital after injuring his head while rehearsing a tumbling roll for the “Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular.”
A Disney spokeswoman said the company mourned Varbanov’s death. The stunt show was canceled Tuesday in his memory.
The death comes a week after a 47-year-old performer died following an on-stage fall during another show, “Captain Jack’s Pirate Tutorial.” And on July 5, a 21-year-old monorail driver died when another train crashed into his own.

Disney does NOT equal death. Don’t listen to ” Nineskyes “. he doesn’t know anything, and most of all, life is short for some people and we all have to understand that accidents happen and if accidents didn’t happen, we wouldn’t learn from them. So everyone, don’t be afraid of Disney, because Disney is a place where dreams come true and it’s a happy plca to enjoy. The man that had passed away, may he rest in peace, was lucky to be able to experience and work at such a wonderful park. May Anislav Varbanov rest in peace for once and for all… |
may he rest in peace
