Buddy Valastro details the horrific incident
During the interaction, the chef revealed that he and his son were in the basement of the house playing in their bowling alley. However, after a few moments, the pinsetter of the machine got stuck and Buddy Valastro attempted to fix it on his own. He further detailed the accident saying that it would just have been for one weak moment when the chef turned his head.
However, it was enough for a fork-like thing to pierce through his hand. It was the most painful, brutal thing, he can ever explain, added Valastro. The celebrity chef admitted that it took him a little time to regain his senses and understand the unfortunate thing that had happened to him. Elaborating further, he said that the incident was so crazy, that initially, he thought it was ‘fake’.

The chef even engaged in thinking that it must be a ‘nightmare’. However, there was blood everywhere and that’s where anxiety kicked in. He recalled someone asking him to stop by suggesting that they have to ‘get him off the machine’. According to Buddy Valastro, one of his sons and brother-in-laws hurried to get pliers. They removed the pin and cut the thing which kept his hand attached to the machine.
Although he still had a rod in his hand, the chef was able to reach his driveway, where an ambulance waited to help him reach a hospital. After describing the incident, Valastro said that he feels proud of his sons and family who worked effectively to handle the situation. He added that everyone stood by him and succeeded in setting him free, which was fortunate because the longer the rod stayed in his hand, the longer was the chance he would have lost the functioning of his hand, he said.
