“I had a really bad accident and it really shook me,” he said. “From those incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, nurses, they were amazing, but obviously, you’ve got to wear helmets.”
Ramsay added, “I don’t care the fact that these helmets cost money, they’re crucial. Even with the kids on a short journey, they’ve got to wear a helmet.”Ramsay said that he was treated by the staff at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London, Connecticut.

“I’m lucky to be standing here,” Ramsay said. “I’m sort of getting through it.”

Ramsay is currently the host of numerous Fox TV shows, including Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef, Next Level Chef and Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars.
