Pro skateboarder Bam Margera ended up in the hospital after a gnarly skate sesh, leaving him with a broken thumb and a strained wrist.
Bam shared that things went wrong quickly while skating in the streets, describing how he managed to injure himself in more than one way at once.
He later posted from a hospital in Tampa, Florida, where doctors ran X-rays to check the damage.

At first there was concern that it could have been another broken wrist, something that would have added to his long history of similar injuries.
Thankfully, that was not the case this time, as only his thumb ended up broken while his wrist was diagnosed as strained.
Even with the setback, he kept his usual laid-back attitude about it, pointing out that getting hurt comes with the territory when skating hard and often taking chances on the board.
Right now, recovery is the next step while he deals with the thumb injury and gives his wrist time to heal.
