The filming of “Gilligan’s Island,” a beloved 1960s sitcom about castaways on a deserted island, was nearly derailed by a serious on-set accident. During the second season, Bob Denver, who played the titular Gilligan, was injured when a vine he was swinging from snapped, causing him to fall. Despite fears of severe injury, Denver sustained broken ribs and a sprained ankle. Production was briefly halted, but quick adjustments to the script allowed Denver to continue, and the show successfully completed its run. This incident highlighted the risks involved in TV production and showcased the resilience and camaraderie of the show’s cast and crew.
