LONDON, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 13: Gordon Ramsey meets fans and signs copies of ‘Gordon Ramseys Ultimate Home Cooking’ at Waterstones Canary Wharf on December 13, 2013 in London, England.
NEW LONDON, CT (WFSB) – Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay gave an important Fathers Day message after he had a “bad” bike accident in Connecticut.
In a post made to his X, formerly Twitter, page, Ramsay reminded people to wear a helmet when riding bikes.
He said the accident happened this week, but it is unclear where it happened.
He received care from L&M Hospital in New London and thanked the doctors who took care of him.
In a statement, the hospital said, “Bike accidents are a common injury we see in the Emergency Department, especially during the summer months when people are more active. Wearing the right equipment, especially a helmet, can significantly reduce the likelihood of serious injury.
Helmets decrease the risk of head injury by 48%, serious head injury by 60%, traumatic brain injury by 53%, face injury by 23%, and the total number of killed or seriously injured cyclists by 34%.”
