Jay Leno Suffers Broken Wrist, Eye Injury After 60 Feet Fall Down Hill

In reading about the harrowing experiences of these well-known personalities, I find myself both amazed and saddened by their resilience and fortitude. Each one has faced adversity that would break most of us, yet they have managed to rise above it, often with a dash of humor that speaks volumes about their indomitable spirit.


Jay Leno is on the mend. 

Previously, the host of “The Tonight Show” sustained several injuries following a fall from a high slope, which occurred as he was en route to dinner ahead of a show in Pittsburgh.

“I’m a little beat up,” he told Inside Edition. “Fell 60 feet—boom, boom, boom, boom.”

The 74-year-old added that he broke his wrist and “lost my nail on the finger.”

“From falling 60 feet onto rocks, I’ve ended up with a completely black-and-blue appearance.

He shared with the media that he examined his wounds in the restroom of the restaurant, despite this, he managed to perform on stage and plans to consult a doctor shortly.

Regrettably, this isn’t the first frightening incident the comedian, who has been with Mavis Leno since 1980, has encountered in recent times.

Last November, Jay suffered burns due to a gasoline fire that happened as he was tinkering with one of his numerous vintage vehicles.

He clarified on Today a month following the incident that the fuel line was blocked, causing him to work beneath it. He described it as sounding congested, so he instructed, “Let some air through the line.” Unexpectedly, there was an explosion, and he was hit by gas. Then, the pilot light ignited, and his face caught fire.

He immediately yelled to his friend Dave Killackey, “‘Dave, I’m on fire.’ And Dave was like, ‘OK.’ And I was like, ‘No, Dave, I’m on fire.'”

Today, Dave said, “His face was obscured. He might deny it, but let me tell you, he was completely enveloped. I could not make out his face. All I saw was a wall of flames.

In January 2023, Jay unfortunately met with another accident while riding his motorcycle. This unfortunate incident resulted in him breaking his collarbone, some ribs, and cracking his kneecaps.

He explained to the Las Vegas Review-Journal following the event that he took a detour down an alleyway and navigated through a car park. Unaware of it at the time, there was a wire stretched across the car park, but without any warning flag hanging from it.

He added, “In other words, I didn’t notice it until it was already too close. It struck me like a garment snagging me, causing me to fall from the bicycle. The bicycle carried on, and as you can imagine, things didn’t end well for me.

However, it’s not just Jay who has experienced an unusual accident in Hollywood. For further details, continue reading.

On last night’s episode of the Tonight Show, the host nearly suffered a fingertip injury after tripping and falling at home. In an attempt to break his fall, he grasped onto the counter, but his ring got snagged in the process, tearing off part of his finger. He referred to this as “ring avulsion,” and it necessitated a 10-day hospital stay to avoid amputation.

Reflecting on this difficult period, Tatum said, “I’m urinating, and my shrunken, burned penis… I was like, ‘Why God?! Why did you do this to me?’

As a lifestyle aficionado, let me share an incident that once occurred in my life. While dining at the lively Japanese eatery Benihana, I unfortunately took a spill and came into contact with one of their Hibachi grills. This unfortunate accident left a burn on my right arm. In due course, I felt it necessary to take legal action against the restaurant, as I underwent skin grafts to remedy the injury.
