He said that he missed a step on the stairs, which has limited his mobility during his recovery. He recalled the event, saying:"[I] slipped down a set of stairs, and one foot went forward, and the other foot got caught on the threshold. So, you know, it extended me out. I looked like I was probably doing the splits."He said that they were in the middle of filming when the accident happened, and there were around 125 people on set. Everybody was ready to go, but he was rushed to the hospital for surgery. The extent of his injury even stunned his doctor, who told him that he hadn't seen a tear in the biggest and thickest part of the quad in his 20 years of practice. Guy Fieri admitted that the injury "sucked."The TV personality explained that, in most cases, a quad would tear from the tendon or the tendon would tear off the bone. But his case was rare, where the whole quad muscle tore in half and "exploded."Guy Fieri recently starred in Happy Gilmore 2 as Maxi Starter, the host of the Maxi Golf Tournament.
