I've seen this several times. I'm a BIG Brian Keith fan. And almost ANYthing with Maureen O'Hara is worth a watch. 😉

Here's some trivia about the clip taken from IMDb:

The accident involving the wagon carrying Martha (Maureen O'Hara) and Hilary (Juliet Mills) ahead of the stampede was real. The women were supposed to be thrown clear, but instead, the wagon rolled over them. Fortunately, there was a camera pit underneath the wagon allowing the stuntwomen, Stephanie Epper and Patty Elder, enough space to be kept from being crushed. They survived with slight injuries and shock. Director Andrew V. McLaglen kept the scene in the film.

While this film isn't the best western ever, it does have good classic actors that help it and some good stunts, even when they go wrong.

Wow! I’m glad you got the follow up for this.
It looked pretty bad for them.
Glad to know they did alright :-)

I watched this movie for the first time a few months ago and when I saw this scene I thought it didn't look like it went the way most of those stunts go; then I checked IMDb and couldn't believe how fortunate they were.

Yeah, I’m sure if I was watching it, I would have thought the same thing.
At least you took the time to look into it, which was helpful :-)
