Disney Dreamer Denied by Dumpster

Disney may be known for encouraging your dreams, but it's doubtful this delivery driver's aspirations were what they had in mind.

Halfway through loading a truck for the studio, he decided to pause productive activity and grab his personal bicycle for a quick stunt. Shooting off the 5ft (1.5m high) loading dock, he aimed to launch himself over a dumpster into the alleyway below.

The dumpster had other ideas, not being one for dreams. His back wheel hit the dumpster, pitching him forwards to faceplant on the ground below, killing the amateur stuntman through injuries to his head and neck.
