Panicked colleagues pulled him out and performed CPR before he was rushed to hospital, where he is still being treated, the website reported.

“It was a full house. It happened in front of everyone,” spectator Daisy Anguiano told a local ABC affiliate.“WaterWorld” is a special effects-filled live show based on the 1995 post-apocalyptic action film starring Kevin Costner. Although the film itself was seen as an expensive flop, “WaterWorld: A Live Sea War Spectacular” opened at the Los Angeles theme park the same year and has remained an enduringly popular attraction ever since.

Lasting around 15 minutes, and performed several times each day, the show sees performers interact with fans, perform hair-raising stunts on jet skis and high wires, and trigger explosions using movie-set technology. Around 170,000 pyrotechnic effects are fired per year at WaterWorld, including giant fireballs rising 50 feet in the air, according to the theme park’s website. /
