New York - The father of a stunt actor who fell more than 9 metres while playing Spider-Man on Broadway says his son is out of the hospital's intensive care unit and has begun inpatient rehabilitation.
Christopher Tierney suffered a skull fracture and cracked vertebrae in the December 20 fall.
Tim Tierney says his son was able to walk with the help of a full-torso brace on Tuesday before being discharged from the hospital and transferred to a New York City rehab facility.
Christopher Tierney fell during a performance of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, plunging from a ledge into a stage pit despite a safety harness that should have prevented the spill.
The $65m show - the most expensive ever on Broadway - cancelled two preview performances then reopened after instituting new safety and security measures.
