The robot costume was top-heavy, with a 250 pound upper section and 100 to 125 pound lower section. At the beginning of Lost in Space: The Space Trader (1966), the director insisted on filming the robot running up the Jupiter 2 ramp from a distance, so Bob May had to wear the full robot suit. Angela Cartwright accidentally stepped on the tow cable as she ran in front of the robot. The combination of sudden jerk and top-heaviness caused the robot to topple over backward (visible for a split second). May was knocked unconscious in the fall but luckily otherwise uninjured. The suit only suffered relatively minor damage and filming continued.
