Now, the Disney-owned Foodles Production (UK) Ltd. has admitted fault on two criminal charges which were drawn against it while two more were withdrawn.
Milton Keynes magistrate court heard prosecutor Andrew Marshall say: "Foodles Production (UK) Ltd has accepted it failed to protect actors and staff and HSE welcomes the firm`s guilty plea."
Marshall described how Ford had walked through a door on the structure believing it to be inactive. As Ford walked underneath, however, it was remotely operated and consequently pinned the actor to the ground in an accident which posed a "risk of death."
He continued: "It could have killed somebody. The fact that it didn`t was because an emergency stop was activated."
The production company will be sentenced on 22 August at Aylesbury Crown Court.
