One of the most experienced of the Orca trainers in Loro Park is currently in hospital having been crashed into by one of the approx 4 ton creatures during a routine play session. The trainer concerned is probably the most well-known, since she is the one who has featured in most of the Park's publicity.
Her upper-body injuries are not said to be life-threatening, but are clearly serious, and it seems there will be some reduction in the number of Orco shows offered daily by Loro Park over the next few weeks or so.
