Gordon Ramsey’s known for dishing out tips on cooking but, more recently, the famed chef and TV personality dished out some wisdom on another topic entirely. Unfortunately, the 57-year-old revealed that he was in a bike accident this past week, which required that he go to the hospital. Ramsay is, thankfully, doing ok at this point and, when opening up about the ordeal in a video, he shared a vital piece of safety advice for anyone else who enjoys cycling.
And, if his comments don’t sway you, then the massive bruise he showed off in the clip will surely sway you. The British star took to his Instagram account on Saturday to discuss the unfortunate situation that befell him this past week. Not only did the post include a video message and a few photos, but it also included a lengthy caption.
The chef and businessman, who has six kids, framed his comments as a Father’s Day message. While laying out the situation, he also shared his piece of advice, which he emphasized in all caps: With #FathersDay tomorrow, I have [a] very important message for all the dads out there..
.WEAR A HELMET ! This week, I had a really bad accident while riding my bike in Connecticut. I’m 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.
I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at Lawerence + Memorial Hospital in New London who looked after me and checked me out, but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life.
