Hans down!
Someone at Pinewood Studios' equivalent of Bay Door Control is probably in a good deal of trouble after septuagenarian Hollywood heart-throb Harrison Ford had his ankle broken "by a garage door" on the set of the new Star Wars movie. Ford, 71, is to reprise his role as interstellar smuggler scamp turned Rebel general Han Solo …
I agree, something I always noticed as a kid is how violently fast doors close in Star Wars, I think it even produced a couple of nightmares. No doubt Harrison will probably be suffering from similar now.
I wonder how HGTG Marvin would describe the Star Wars doors, they are hardly depressing ;-)
Not only too fast but also not high enough, leading to the infamous stormtrooper headbanger.
Probably explains all the armour when inside their own space-station (or is it a small moon?). I'm sure the Emporer's evil elf n safety minions would be right on it too...
More likely Pinewood's insurance company
Let's hope they don't leave him pining for the fjords. On the plus side, he's now truly Han "Solo".
Maybe he'll do pirate movies now, could be fun putting him together with Johnny Depp :)
I think it's joint. Or parts of it are. I had an MRI there several years ago paid for by my PMI. My GP had also offered to send me there but she could only offer a wait time of 'six months to never'(*). Bupa got me in within the week.
(*)It was for plantar fasciitis so was not critical and of questionable diagnostic value.
He's been repaired in an NHS hospital - perhaps privately by a consultant who works both sides of the fence. Recuperation could be in a private room in the hospital or he could transfer to a private hospital. The boundaries between NHS and private are quite blurred.
If you have medical insurance in the UK, look carefully at what's not covered, a lot of the difficult stuff is done on the NHS...
Surely they can get Vic Armstrong to finish it off, like he did on The Temple of Doom.

Unfortunately, electromagnetism wins this time.
On the flip side, with advanced ultrasonic enhanced 3D printed cast he should be up and about in around 18 days, getting muscle strength back might take a bit longer.
see article on BMJ, 3D printed casts with embedded transducers are apparently the latest thing.
Somehow I don't see many calls for a proper Playmobil reconstruction! Have the Reg readers all just turned to the dark side and now feel content with a cheap Lego knock-off?
C'mon, you know what to do, off you go, chop-chop! Ask the good Register for a Playmobil coverage now!
I humbly do
