Steve-O Attempted An Insane Stunt, Broke Bones In Both Legs, And I’m Pretty Sure Ankles Aren’t Supposed To Bend Like That

A year ago, Steve-O revealed that he has broken a total of 12 bones doing stunts, 22 if you count broken teeth. Welp, we can add a shattered right ankle (in three places) and a broken left heel to that running total after the 42-year-old catapulted himself off a wooden porta potty doing a  stunt Sunday in San Diego.

According to TMZ, pro skating legend Danny Way drove a car underneath him, shattering the porta potty, while Tony Hawk recorded the entire thing.

It didn’t work without flaws. Steve-O dislocated and broke his right ankle. He says doctors set it in a temporary cast, and once the swelling goes down, he’ll need to put a metal rod in there. His left heel is shattered, which will likely confine him to a wheelchair for the foreseeable future.

This is his right ankle. Gnarly.

Worst part of the entire scenario is that Steve-O can’t take the pain pills since he’s a recovering addict. That’s the true tragedy in all this.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
