Disney on Ice performer injured during skating accident

A performer portraying Ariel from The Little Mermaid suffered a heavy fall during a Disney on Ice production. The incident occurred while the skater was being spun in a lift by a partner dressed as Prince Eric. The performer appeared to lose control during the maneuver, causing both skaters to crash onto the ice.

Footage of the accident, which circulated on TikTok, shows the woman wrapping her arms around her head and appearing to be in pain following the impact. Her partner immediately rushed to her side to assist. After remaining on the ice for a moment, the performer sat up and was helped to her feet by her partner before they both skated off the rink, briefly waving to the audience.

This incident follows a separate serious accident in February 2024 involving performer Anastasia Olson, who was injured while portraying Belle during a Beauty and the Beast segment.
