The Learning Channel’s Little People, Big World has become an unexpected reality show hit. Following the lives of the Roloff family—with parents and one son who are dwarfs and two children of normal size—people took notice of their story and tuned in to see their challenges. Their 9-year-old son, Jacob Roloff, was seriously injured Saturday from a pumpkin launcher on the Roloff farm. The Associated Press reports that Jacob was hit in the face when the catapult inadvertently triggered. Monday morning, he was listed in serious condition at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Oregon. A family friend was also involved in the accident and is in serious condition. Matt Roloff, Jacob’s father, posted on the TLC message boards that both his son and the family friend would require surgery but are expected to make a full recovery.
