In the moments before, Reynolds was on a stage waving and working the loud and excited audience, when he decided to jump down to the ground to greet fans.

Just as he approached them, those big barriers gave way to the pressure of the people pushing against it, and fell down with major force, which sent many fans falling forward.

Showing amazingly fast reflexes, the actor took a step back before making a quick jump nearly backwards back onto the stage to avoid injury.
