There was a scare on the Tennessee set of Hannah Montana: The Movie Tuesday when high winds blew a piece of production equipment onto a ferris wheel full of extras, injuring several of them.
The film's young star, Miley Cyrus, 15, had just finished shooting a scene next to the ferris wheel when the accident occurred, according to TMZ.com, which first reported the incident.
"During a break in the filming of Hannah Montana: The Movie, a minor accident occurred involving a piece of production equipment," Disney said in a statement confirming the accident. "Fortunately, there were only a few minor injuries. Medical personnel have treated the extras and crew involved. None of the cast was on the set. Filming has resumed."
Neither Cyrus nor her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, were on the set when the "giant" piece of lighting equipment fell onto the ferris wheel, according to reports.
An extra, Brenda Blackford, described the scene to Nashville station WKRN-TV: "When the wind caught it, all the cables were loose. It started [flying]. I was watching to see which corner of it was gonna hit the Ferris wheel, because it was unavoidable."

I heard that too but I still don't really understand was the faris wheel like a prop or were they filming near like an amusment park with a faris wheel that fell onto their set?
