Gordon Ramsay is thankful to be alive, and he credits not only all the doctors, nurses, and staff at a Connecticut hospital who took care of him, but also the helmet which he says saved his life.
Over the Fatherās Day weekend, the celebrity chef took to social media to share a scary story with his fans. Even a week after the accident, it still had Ramsay shaken up.
āThis week I had a really bad accident while riding my bike in Connecticut,ā he wrote. āIām doing ok and did not break any bones or suffer any major injuries but I am a bit bruised up looking like a purple potato.ā
Ramsay, who is an avid cycler, explained the importance of wearing a helmet no matter how āshort the journey isā or the fact that helmets cost money because theyāre ācrucial.ā
āIām lucky to be standing here. Iām in pain. Itās been a brutal week, and Iām sort of getting through it,ā Ramsay said as he lifted his shirt to reveal a massive bruise.
