Reuter's reports this morning that High Jackman suffered an injury while shooting a segment for the Oprah Winfrey Show in Australia earlier today.  Jackman was performing a stunt that involved making an entrance on a zip cable.  Due to a faulty break, Jackman crashed into a rigging pole, hitting his eye.  He is said to be not seriously injured and continued taping the segment after the accident. 

Says Jackman of the mishap: "I came down waving to everyone, looking over Sydney Harbour, saw my dad, the kids and you (Winfrey), went to pull the brake and then boing."

Oprah is currently broadcasting in Australia for severAl Weeks.  The show airs at 4pm EST on ABC.
