Gordon Ramsay is grateful to be alive and thanks the doctors, nurses, and staff at a Connecticut hospital, as well as the helmet that he says saved his life.
Over Father’s Day weekend, the famous chef shared a frightening story with his fans on social media. Even a week after the accident, Ramsay was still shaken.
“This week, I had a really bad accident while riding my bike in Connecticut,” he wrote. “I’m okay and didn’t break any bones or suffer any major injuries, but I’m bruised and look like a purple potato.”
Ramsay, who loves cycling, emphasized the importance of always wearing a helmet, no matter how short the ride is or how much a helmet costs because they are “crucial.”
“I’m lucky to be standing here. I’m in pain. It’s been a brutal week, and I’m sort of getting through it,” Ramsay said as he lifted his shirt to reveal a massive bruise.
The Hell’s Kitchen star also included before and after photos from his accident.
I’m so glad Gordon Ramsay is okay. Seeing his bruise and the aftermath of his helmet is an excellent reminder of the importance of making sure you always wear a helmet no matter what!
