Possible injuries during filming of IV?

This is in no way a "he's too old!" post, but I was thinking....Ford dislocated his knee in Raiders, right? And then in Temple filming was delayed a month because he injured himself when he flipped the Thugee guy over his back, which was exascerbated by riding on the elephant. Well that's when he was ~40-41. Now, he's 65. Of course there is still a risk of him getting injured if he does even a little of his own stunts, but do you think they'll be keeping this in mind and telling him, "Better let the stuntmen do it this time, Harry."?

Now that filming is underway, and we have that f-ing AWESOME picture of him looking great in the gear again and roughed up...I'm a little afraid to read a headline saying, INDY IV FILMING DELAYED AS FORD INJURES _______. I hope it doesn't happen this time around. The danger is increased, though.

He didn't just dislocate it. He had every ligament popped when it was run over by the plane. That's some kind of man's man right there.

"Mr. Ford, you've been run over by a plane and your knee is shredded wheat."

"Give me my hat. I'll walk it off."
