From Other source:
Harrison Ford was airlifted to hospital today after injuring himself on the set of the latest Star Wars film.
The actor, 71, was filming at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire when a hydraulic garage door fell and hit him.
Ford – who is reprising his role as the buccaneering Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode VII – was treated by medics after he fell to the ground and was stretchered onto a helicopter.
The air ambulance took him to the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, which has a trauma unit that specialises in fractures.
It is thought he fractured his ankle and is awaiting results of further tests to see if he suffered injuries to his chest.
It is not yet known how long the star will take to recover, although producers insisted shooting would continue as planned.

I wish him the best ... but come on. Who’s excited by the idea of a 71-year-old Han Solo?

I guess they need to break out the carbonite...if the EPA hasn't already banned it.

I wonder if the Millennium Falcon will be fitting with a Stair Chair and a walk in tub.

Is the Millennium Falcon ADA compliant?
I know it has a ramp, but does it have hand rails on the entry and lavatories?

Medevac’d out for a twisted ankle? If he broke a nail, would they call in Life Flight?

The actor injured his ankle on Thursday, and was taken to a local hospital.
I pulled my left quadricep, or more precisely, the vastus imtermedius last week playing softball but finished out the game.........Played yesterday and this past Monday with it wrapped.
Not one media guy reported on it...........go figure.
