A stuntman working on an Indiana Jones attraction at a Florida theme park has been killed in a freak accident while rehearsing a scene for the spectacular show.

According to a spokeswoman for Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida, the performer was hurt doing a tumbling roll during a practice run for the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular - which reenacts scenes from George Lucas' blockbuster franchise.

The stuntman, whose name has not been released, was taken to a local hospital where he passed away on Monday.

Park officials have cancelled the scheduled performance on Tuesday out of respect for the cast member.

Hollywood actor Harrison Ford has most famously played the adventurer over the decades, introducing the character to moviegoers in Lucas' 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark.
