Juliankha For fucks sake, you idiot have some common sense it is “literally” just figurative language - If they typed the comment out and posted it, they’re obviously not dying, do you comprehend, snowflake?
Krisabelle Zhao it is definitely a horrible accident. But he is likely well-insured especially for his hands, and doesn’t really need to depend on his piping skills. People will still buy their cakes, his business will continue, and the show will be watched by millions tuning in for updates. Not trying to sound cynical, but in this upside down world, with so much craziness happening, this will not stop him from continuing fairly seamlessly.
@@cindland yea but that his right hand he needs it do other things, not just his job. His job is set and money are set but when you fuck up your hand this badly....how does he even wipe his own ass now?
I can't believe how much his kids have grown. I used to watch his show when I was around 12, 13 and they always seemed so little. Now I realize they are just a couple of years younger than me.
Omg same !!! I can’t believe buddy got hurt and I hope that he recovers safely but wow his sons are around the same age as I am and I watched cake boss as a kid (12 /13) all the time but wow
@@user-qx5jp7bw8u Buddy has a private bowling alley in his house that he was fixing when he had his accident. That’s what he refers to as “the machine.”
Oh Marco darling, you literally saved your father's life. You are a true hero. I applaud you on your tremendous courage and extend sincerest sympathy to you on witnessing something so terrifying. You are an amazing young man and you are incredibly selfless. Best wishes to both you and your father for the future.
Shock doesn’t always make you calm. Sometimes it can make you go crazy. My dad snapped his tibia while surfing which resulted in a compound fracture and he brought himself out of the water with the help of a random surfer and when he got on the sand, his shock was so bad that he just went crazy and started trying to get up and run around. Other surfers had to come over and hold him down. One of the surfers was a doctor and kept telling us that he was in hypovolemic shock but was having a rare reaction
When I was in high school, my mom and I got in a car crash. A few days later she had a seizure and I took her to the hospital, not once but twice. As a teenager, it can affect you. Thankfully, mom is okay now but it was scary at the time. I totally understand the pain their family, especially the kids, is going through.
I had a bad car accident many years ago. My four kids were with me and I was pinned behind the steering wheel with my left foot sticking out through the grill. I also had that feeling of extreme calm. It’s weird to be able to remain calm, talk to everyone around you and just have a sense of peace about it. I hope your surgeries and rehab are successful!
You know, that reminds me. When I was a kid, my dad and I were going to my dad's office for homeschool, but on the way, we encountered a motorcycle accident. My dad proceeded to jump out of the car to help the motorcycle driver, but being a kid at that time, I wasn't allowed to be left alone in the car, so I immediately stopped him and said "Papa, what are you doing?!", to which he stopped short, realizing he couldn't leave me in the car, so he declined helping the motorcycle driver, and when we continued driving, my dad thanked me from stopping him from saving the motorcycle driver in order to not leave me in the car.
His son had to literally ply his dads bloody hand out of the machine while he screamed and wept with pain. i’m so sorry for him. sending marco prayers ❤️
mayra molina I’m sorry hun, that really sucks. My mom has that, she has to wear that black wrist wrap when she works sometimes as a hair dresser. But she says hers isn’t as bad so she it still able to work.
Bill Davies duly note.😊 I highly doubt I would do something like that to tell you the truth. Not much of a bowler. I do however play a good amount of soccer especially with my kids, so hopefully I don’t get injure myself badly from that.😬
I love this family so much. They were from humble beginnings and built a business with the vision of Buddy and family Much love Buddy you are one fantastic person.
I remember my dad getting injured (his eyes) when i was young and it was so difficult to see him helpless. Dad's are our first superheroes. Fortunately my dad completely recovered.
Sorry I was being insensitive for sharing how I process my emotions. I know humans aren’t weak for being Human. I repeated myself so many times to the point where I just took this whole comment down because you guys seem to miss the part where I said that those are me initial thoughts and not my actual opinions. It takes me awhile to comprehend feelings and starting to understand and empathize. Sorry I’m not your jolly molly who can just process emotions ASAP rocky. You guys happy 😃😃??? I really am sorry, I finally realized how rude and insensitive I was at the moment. Especially by the public’s eye. I hate that I can’t process emotions properly and I know guys hate me too for that. It’s really something I can’t help but when I realize what I said I already felt guilty for it. I really am sorry. And getting reminded about being such a terrible human being really doesn’t help me understand anymore than you guys think. My rage clouds my judgment a lot when I’m getting so many notifications against me. So I really am sorry
Christine Okay I grew up with Mexican parents, nothing scared me at that point. What’s I’m trying to say is that my whole life I became resilient because of the way I was raised. I grew up poor, and as a Mexican American. You kinda have to build a mental toughness when I have to endure racisms and so much more.
As a runner who once broke their ankle, I can tell you it hurts so much to not be able to do what you love for so long. Being restricted by a cast is frustrating. Hopefully he heals soon and can get back to his passion as soon as possible!
You could tell his son was trying to fight back tears so emotional, taking about what happened seeing his dad goes through something like that So brave. Get well soon 🙏🏽♥️
Buddy didn't become Cake Boss by a fluke...he's a hard working and determined man...he shall conquer this as well. ...just like the true Boss that he is🙏🏾💖
I liked when he said that he wanted to kiss the doctors hands,they deserve maximum respect from us because they are our heroes.Get well soon Buddy,and God bless your handsome son.
It was a horrific “freak accident.’ More importantly, he survived. Thank goodness his sons were around! Life is being able to be flexible, cope and adapt to change. It will soon be a “new normal.” All the best to the Cake Boss and his family always!
You have such a close knit family I am sure they will see you through this horrible accident. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Your son is a rock for staying calm. You must be so proud of him.
He must feel depressed, When I broke my dominant hand I went into a downward spiral of depression, I felt so handicapped, could not wipe myself, comb my hair, brush my teeth, nada. I pray his family stands by his side and nourish him back to health. His hand will never be the same again. Now a life of constant nagging pain in that hand. I pray he recovers fully and totally. He is an artist and works with his hands. Awesome designs and work he has done and I pray will continue to do so. Prayers are going out to you and the family.
My husband whose leftie had to get shoulder surgery on his left shoulder so he had to learn how to wipe with his right hand... after he was done healing and went back to go and use his left hand, he couldn’t do it!! So now he can only do it with his right hand nhshahaha!!!!
If only more insurance policies would cover occupational therapy, your lives would have been significantly 'easier' throughout your struggles that followed your dominate hand injuries.
Buddy I truly wish you a full recovery. As an amazing artist, I can't even imagine how frustrating this must be. You have a wonderful family, I'm so proud of your sons for their quick actions. Much love out to you. ❤️
i saw my dad cut his toes off (thru a boot) with a chainsaw, when the chainsaw/log slipped. I was about 8, so over 40 years ago. It was terrifying, but it also solidified my own coping skills... watching my fathers reaction became the way I handled trauma from then on out. He never passed out. Managed to instruct me properly on the best way to help and had shown me how not to overreact and stay in control of an out of control situation. Everything ended well. 100% full recovery and no PTSD to either of us.
So sorry to hear about the accident. Your son looks so emotional about seeing you like that. Love thoughts and prayers for you and your full recovery. You are the cake boss always.
I've been such a huge fan of theirs. This just proves it even more. I truly loved watching their show every night. Get well soon Buddy and good job Marco for staying calm! Much love from Oregon.
His kids have really grown so fast and his son looks so sad like he’s fighting back tears. Such a close family and so much fun. You should have called the ambulance, Buddy. Just take it easy and enjoy your time off work. I know how proud you are of your sons too. God bless you and your in our prayers !
Tragic accident... terrible interview! Let the man finish his sentence! Many prayers for Buddy to heal completely! One awesome advantage he has is his family will be there for him every step of the way! 💕
He's very lucky that his sons were home to help him out. It's going to take at least two years of good Rehabilitation to get full usage of that hand back. Love you buddy praying for you and your hand and get back to be the cake boss that you normally ah.
That was my thought to!His son does look as if he is staying "brave" not crying, he needs a good hug and to let it all out! Glad his family were right there, I hope the cake boss and sons heal quickly! My prayers are them
Thank God he’s okay. That feeling of calmness he felt I believe came from God. Praying for his recovery and that this experience brings him closer to Christ
So sorry Buddy . I heard about you last week and I was shocked to hear about the accident. Praying for your full recovery and back to you cake station.
That was one of my first thoughts when I heard about the accident. The people helping him (especially the kids). Did the right things but seeing something like that happen to someone (especially your dad). Messes with you head for a good long time, if not forever. Hopefully with time and some good coping techniques this will be easier for everyone to process.
The guy reporter did a terrible interview! He cut him off in his story? No consideration n the end was condescending poor cake boss you can still he’s still in shock n his son is still shook up ... prayers to him n his family
When the camera first cut to the guy doing the interview he looked like he was trying to stifle a laugh. He looked up and saw the camera was on him and straightened up.
Sorry but your brain goes into shock or you faint 😬 in these things its called fight or flight and wakes up your survival instinct this is why you are calm even though your missing a finger saying it not that bad guys and everyone else freaking out about it
SRS As parents age and their health deteriorates and they reach a stage in their life where basically they need care like a baby again ( diapers, being fed, bathed, carried, etc) . Much respect for the people who display gentleness and decency for their aging parents. That’s simply my observation. And you have yourself a very fine evening! ✌️
I like how the interviewers are like “what the road to recovery for your RIGHT DOMINANT hand?” And “crazy HORRIFIC accident’’ like they might as well have said “ ur career is ruined how do u feel bout dat bro?” 💀
Emily Ramirez pretty much the truth. He’s a determined guy so I’m sure he will work hard to get his hands working as well as possible. At least two surgeries already! Uhg
Take care, I went through that with my dad when I was younger. I know how traumatic it is for all of you. Please take care and take your time recovering. You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Perhaps they should have mentioned the type of “machine” Buddy was talking about at the end of his interview. It was a bowling lane in his home - the pin setter. Took away from the interview tremendously.
Buddy’s “old school” baking and piping talents made him famous, around the world, star of his own television series and a VERY wealthy man; including, giving his family, a chance to make money! So I guess his “old school” skills, have served him better, than your newer, modern techniques. Newer and younger, doesn’t always, mean better!!!
As a retired chef, I cannot imagine my “working” hand being that injured and the prospects, of maybe, not being able to work or create, with that hand again! It has to be devastating, to say the least. This man is famous for his cake creations, for running a family business, for making his family name famous, around the world! He is a modern icon of success, in the US. We all do stupid things at times, without thinking of the consequences. Really look at his son’s face during this entire interview! I think he would benefit from some therapy. He is still traumatized! Buddy’s sons and his brother, will never forget the scene they encountered that day! This tragedy has affected the entire family. How could it not? I hope and pray for Buddy’s complete recovery and that his hand, will be creating masterpieces, once again!
@@katherinevaladez5227what are you even on about? "Your newer modern techniques" 🤔🤔I'm 41 years old and learned old school piping as well.(not nearly as skilled as Buddy..nor will I ever be) I say very clearly in my post that his "old school" piping is very talented(no insult at all)..and btw "old school", is how he refers to his own piping skills.👍 How about you actually read someones comment before going off on them. 👍I myself was a classically trained pastry chef at the Culinary Institute of the Pacific with a speciality in Asian Pacific cusinse..I truly understand what this injury means and it's why I worry so much about the skills he has not being able to be done by him or carried on. How about you calm down before you post again💕
So sorry you're going through this. My father in law was a surgeon and he NEVER EVER picked up a garage tool, any type of tool. Never risked injuring his hands. Hope you recover quickly with no permanent injury. 🙏🙏🙏
Elizabeth Hutson not too many people have personal bowling alleys in their homes although other accidents can happen. He never mentioned his hand got pinned on the jammed machined that resets the pins.
If you know your hands are an integral part of your livelihood(I don’t mean an auto mechanic) such as he does, you don’t want to be sticking your hands in broken machinery.
It wasn't rude. He had to. They were timed and had to move on to the next segment and his boss on his end likely told him to move to the next question. If you watch the news regularly then you'd know this is seen pretty much every news channel on a daily basis.
It’s true that when one is in a situation such as this, calmness takes over so as not to freak-out anyone involved. My son was playing with his cousins and his hand went straight through a glass window. His forearm was shredded in 2 big gashes. When I saw him, my mind was panicking but I didn’t show it because I didn’t want to scare him. I remained calm. He came out with 8 stitches and a gnarly scar. Thank God he was ok.
My son put a metal broom stick, one end on the couch and the other end on the coffee table and tried to walk on it. ..the stick broke in half and the metal sliced his leg open like a razor blade. I was upstairs putting my daughter to bed in her crib. When I came down to what looked like a horror movie, blood everywhere, my heart stopped...but I stayed so calm, like SUPER calm. I guess even under fear our parent brains will keep us calm. My son was around 6 at the time and was already scared. ..he stayed oddly calm too though, I don't even think he cried (is a blur now lol, he'll be 19 in feb) he ended up with a nasty scar and some stitches...thank god it wasn't worse
This was a bad interviewer! He never clarified what kind of "machine" was involved. I first thought it was the TV that he was about to watch the Giants game on!
All the best to you, Buddy, and Valastro family on your road to recovery... don't lose hope. My mom and I always watch your program. Wishing you a speedy recovery from Cape Town, South Africa.
A representative said Valastro’s hand was injured when he tried to repair a malfunctioning pin setter in the bowling alley at his New Jersey home on Sept. 20. His hand got stuck in the machinery and, unable to withdraw it, he watched as it was impaled three times by a 1½-inch metal rod between the ring and middle fingers. Valastro’s sons - ages 13 and 16 - used a reciprocating saw to cut through the rod and release their father.
@@MicrowaveFork Thank you! How did you figure that from this story? I watched it twice trying to find out what machine he was talking about...no mention of a bowling alley?
@@marccasteel8995 I ended up digging a bit deeper, It was in a article written a bit later - it seems like it might be something too graphic to mention on air. So devastating, especially since his hands are integral to his talent and business. I hope for a speedy recovery and my condolences to his family.
@@jenaemarieAZ There was a special on TLC Network. It shows his injury ....I mean it shows everything. I just watched it the other day. Here is the link www.tlc.com/tv-shows/buddy-valastro-road-to-recovery/
I posted above. I think Bc that would take away from his injury. Like oh, let’s not everyone get distracted by the fact that he’s a wealthy reality Star...
i am praying that he will be recovering physically and emotionally soon and will be baking again.with God nothing is impossible.I'm from the Philippines and I'm a fan of Buddy.

That was how I was when I had to recover from surgery for almost 2 months. I was not allowed to walk unless bathroom or going to bed.
Buddy I truly wish you a full recovery. As an amazing artist, I can't even imagine how frustrating this must be. You have a wonderful family, I'm so proud of your sons for their quick actions. Much love out to you. ❤️
AkiBown 💜💛 and I don't know yuytyioyoo to get the
His poor son is heartbroken bless him he’s lovely. Wishing you a speedy recovery, stay strong your family will carry you through. Bless you all ❣️
His son still looks scarred. I would be traumatized also if I saw my dad in that condition lord I’d be freaking out. Kudos to that young man 🙌🏼🙌🏼
i saw my dad cut his toes off (thru a boot) with a chainsaw, when the chainsaw/log slipped. I was about 8, so over 40 years ago. It was terrifying, but it also solidified my own coping skills... watching my fathers reaction became the way I handled trauma from then on out. He never passed out. Managed to instruct me properly on the best way to help and had shown me how not to overreact and stay in control of an out of control situation. Everything ended well. 100% full recovery and no PTSD to either of us.
or just nervous from being on TV? haha
Really hope he will recover very soon...
U again 😳😳😳😳
Oww Right 👁👄👁
u again
We meet again -_-
Back at it again
So sorry to hear about the accident. Your son looks so emotional about seeing you like that. Love thoughts and prayers for you and your full recovery. You are the cake boss always.
I've been such a huge fan of theirs. This just proves it even more. I truly loved watching their show every night. Get well soon Buddy and good job Marco for staying calm! Much love from Oregon.
His kids have really grown so fast and his son looks so sad like he’s fighting back tears. Such a close family and so much fun. You should have called the ambulance, Buddy. Just take it easy and enjoy your time off work. I know how proud you are of your sons too. God bless you and your in our prayers !
I love this family! GOD BLESS them all
It was a bowling machine in the bowling alley at his house. He was trying to reset the machine and got caught wow that had to be painful 😖
Thanks, I was really confused about what type of machine they were talking about
Crazy! On one of my school field trips a kid stuck his hand in one!
Emily Salyer is the kid ok..?
Thanks I thought Giants game and machine??
Crazy Tv?
That is ironic.... didn't an episode of 911 have this exact same thing happen in it? 🤢🤢🤢
Tragic accident... terrible interview! Let the man finish his sentence! Many prayers for Buddy to heal completely! One awesome advantage he has is his family will be there for him every step of the way! 💕
This is so heart breaking, I hope he recovers quickly.
He's very lucky that his sons were home to help him out. It's going to take at least two years of good Rehabilitation to get full usage of that hand back. Love you buddy praying for you and your hand and get back to be the cake boss that you normally ah.
2 years lol ur crazy
Sydney Davis wdym
Do you think it’ll take longer or shorter
We
Why would the reporter talk to his son? He’s clearly about to cry. He’s traumatized.
That was my thought to!His son does look as if he is staying "brave" not crying, he needs a good hug and to let it all out! Glad his family were right there, I hope the cake boss and sons heal quickly! My prayers are them
because buddy was getting off topic .... he’s obviously on heavy pain medication. His son is there as a buffer when conversation stops flowing
His son was there to be interviewed too, being that he was the one who saved his dad ! 🤦🏽🤷🏽
Christy ToK that reporter was also smiling (the man)
Really??? I must of missed that and I watched it 2x!! 😆
So glad that you are okay and did not lose your hand. Now you can take some time to heal and spend time with your family. Love from Botswana.
Thank God he’s okay. That feeling of calmness he felt I believe came from God. Praying for his recovery and that this experience brings him closer to Christ
I was going to say the exact same thing thank you for pointing that out for ppl that BELIEVE🙂🙏🏾
Amen, Jesus loves us all
His son looks uneasy as he is recounting the story. You know he loves his daddy! Speedy recovery Buddy!
Oh my god I thought the title said ‘terrible accent’ and I was like “well that’s kinda mean” 😭😭
😭😭
Lmao
STAHP IT 😭😭😭😭
LOL
I laughed harder than I probably should have. Poor guy tho
I saw the machine and some interview but i didn't knew it was swinging back and forth with his hand still in it. Prayers for your recovery Buddy! ❤🇵🇭
So sorry Buddy . I heard about you last week and I was shocked to hear about the accident. Praying for your full recovery and back to you cake station.
The son looks so traumatized rehearing that event. I mean I dont blame him, i would be too
Everyone looks more traumatized than Buddy does.
Agreed
That was one of my first thoughts when I heard about the accident. The people helping him (especially the kids). Did the right things but seeing something like that happen to someone (especially your dad). Messes with you head for a good long time, if not forever. Hopefully with time and some good coping techniques this will be easier for everyone to process.
😔😔😔
Imagine we lost him 2020 would be 1 million times worst I’m glad he is good 🙂I wish the best for him and to heal fast
Yess omg 😳
I love your chimmy
Viviana Ruiz aww tank you
Yes, 2020 has been bad enough. We don't need to loose The Cake Boss! We just lost Eddie Van Halen..😢
Lisa Rickerson really I don’t even know who that is but rip
He is such a talented Baker and I was not expecting to hear such tragic news about him. Praying for his speedy recovery
The guy reporter did a terrible interview! He cut him off in his story? No consideration n the end was condescending poor cake boss you can still he’s still in shock n his son is still shook up ... prayers to him n his family
When the camera first cut to the guy doing the interview he looked like he was trying to stifle a laugh. He looked up and saw the camera was on him and straightened up.
I completely agree
@@LisaCSCO he looked more like he was wincing
Fake news anchors with their fake personalities and fake empathy.
His Momma guardian angel kept him calm.
Sorry but your brain goes into shock or you faint 😬 in these things its called fight or flight and wakes up your survival instinct this is why you are calm even though your missing a finger saying it not that bad guys and everyone else freaking out about it
He seemed to be a very loving caring loyal respectful son...
And you know this how?
SRS As parents age and their health deteriorates and they reach a stage in their life where basically they need care like a baby again ( diapers, being fed, bathed, carried, etc) .
Much respect for the people who display gentleness and decency for their aging parents.
That’s simply my observation.
And you have yourself a very fine evening!
✌️
God kept him calm
I like how the interviewers are like “what the road to recovery for your RIGHT DOMINANT hand?” And “crazy HORRIFIC accident’’ like they might as well have said “ ur career is ruined how do u feel bout dat bro?” 💀
Emily Ramirez pretty much the truth. He’s a determined guy so I’m sure he will work hard to get his hands working as well as possible. At least two surgeries already! Uhg
@@kimberly_erin honestly, buddy seems so passionate about his job I can see him learning how to pipe with his non-dominant hand
pretty much... so insensitive and dumb
So sorry you went through this accident.. Praying you feel less pain and recover quickly.🙏
Take care, I went through that with my dad when I was younger. I know how traumatic it is for all of you. Please take care and take your time recovering. You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Perhaps they should have mentioned the type of “machine” Buddy was talking about at the end of his interview. It was a bowling lane in his home - the pin setter. Took away from the interview tremendously.
Right. I was so confused
Thank you !
wow i thought it was some type of cake mixer/machine :/ jesus still thats a crazy accident. a bowling pin setter
I thought they were taking about the tv monitor because they were watching the game
What type of “machine”?!? Confusing...
I sure hope he recovers fully and is still able to use his old school (very talented) piping skills. ❤ God Speed Buddy.
Buddy’s “old school” baking and piping talents made him famous, around the world, star of his own television series and a VERY wealthy man; including, giving his family, a chance to make money! So I guess his “old school” skills, have served him better, than your newer, modern techniques. Newer and younger, doesn’t always, mean better!!!
As a retired chef, I cannot imagine my “working” hand being that injured and the prospects, of maybe, not being able to work or create, with that hand again! It has to be devastating, to say the least. This man is famous for his cake creations, for running a family business, for making his family name famous, around the world! He is a modern icon of success, in the US. We all do stupid things at times, without thinking of the consequences. Really look at his son’s face during this entire interview! I think he would benefit from some therapy. He is still traumatized! Buddy’s sons and his brother, will never forget the scene they encountered that day! This tragedy has affected the entire family. How could it not? I hope and pray for Buddy’s complete recovery and that his hand, will be creating masterpieces, once again!
@@katherinevaladez5227what are you even on about? "Your newer modern techniques" 🤔🤔I'm 41 years old and learned old school piping as well.(not nearly as skilled as Buddy..nor will I ever be) I say very clearly in my post that his "old school" piping is very talented(no insult at all)..and btw "old school", is how he refers to his own piping skills.👍 How about you actually read someones comment before going off on them. 👍I myself was a classically trained pastry chef at the Culinary Institute of the Pacific with a speciality in Asian Pacific cusinse..I truly understand what this injury means and it's why I worry so much about the skills he has not being able to be done by him or carried on. How about you calm down before you post again💕
Katherine Valadez - I don't think this was an insult "old school" is actually how he refers to himself
Praying for a full recovery...proud of the young boy's reaction!
Brother, you had angels right there with you. Peace that passes understanding!
So sorry you're going through this. My father in law was a surgeon and he NEVER EVER picked up a garage tool, any type of tool. Never risked injuring his hands. Hope you recover quickly with no permanent injury. 🙏🙏🙏
Elizabeth Hutson not too many people have personal bowling alleys in their homes although other accidents can happen. He never mentioned his hand got pinned on the jammed machined that resets the pins.
Your father in law is a smart guy
Accidents can happen with literally anything else. But I guess that's one way to mitigate risk.
If you know your hands are an integral part of your livelihood(I don’t mean an auto mechanic) such as he does, you don’t want to be sticking your hands in broken machinery.
That male interviewer cut Buddy off while he was telling his story. Just started talking over him. How rude.
That is just how news works. There are time limits because there are more questions to ask.
Not only are there time constraints on live TV shows but if you have two guests, you want to give each time to speak, which he did.
When your on the miss there's a delay as well sometimes you can hear
Fun fact: Buddy is still talking!
It wasn't rude. He had to. They were timed and had to move on to the next segment and his boss on his end likely told him to move to the next question. If you watch the news regularly then you'd know this is seen pretty much every news channel on a daily basis.
Marco, you have helped your dad so much you should be so proud of yourself that is amazing what you did you are so brave!!
I love your work, your family, your story, your show is my favorite! Definitely praying for a full recovery! God bless ❤
It’s true that when one is in a situation such as this, calmness takes over so as not to freak-out anyone involved. My son was playing with his cousins and his hand went straight through a glass window. His forearm was shredded in 2 big gashes. When I saw him, my mind was panicking but I didn’t show it because I didn’t want to scare him. I remained calm. He came out with 8 stitches and a gnarly scar. Thank God he was ok.
My son put a metal broom stick, one end on the couch and the other end on the coffee table and tried to walk on it. ..the stick broke in half and the metal sliced his leg open like a razor blade. I was upstairs putting my daughter to bed in her crib. When I came down to what looked like a horror movie, blood everywhere, my heart stopped...but I stayed so calm, like SUPER calm. I guess even under fear our parent brains will keep us calm. My son was around 6 at the time and was already scared. ..he stayed oddly calm too though, I don't even think he cried (is a blur now lol, he'll be 19 in feb) he ended up with a nasty scar and some stitches...thank god it wasn't worse
My mom gets calm... i reach panic level 101
Reading this is like 😳
I’m so thankful your baby is okay 🌹
That’s terrible I hope he is okay..
Why does he look like the older version of Mason Disick??
kourtney will send you to jail for this comment but IM DEADDDDD
frrrrr
I thought I was the only one who noticed pls
True 🤣
Omg he really does
Hope he buddy has a safe and speedy recovery and that he’s able to get back to doing what he loves x
Sending prayers for Buddy, Marco & the family. Thank you to his family & the medical staff. 🙏🙏❤❤
I'm not even buddy's son and I'm traumatized...
Same!
I thought he got his hand caught in a giant mixer and then I read bowling accident I'm not sure which is weirder.
Haha, I thought as well
Yep, just a "typical Sunday" at the bowling alley in my house...RICH PEOPLE PROBLEMS! Still, I Hope he recovers and gets well soon 💖
@@daysgoneby7826 my thoughts exactly..
This was a bad interviewer! He never clarified what kind of "machine" was involved. I first thought it was the TV that he was about to watch the Giants game on!
@@annsjostrom2377 That's what it sounded like to me too at first
All the best to you, Buddy, and Valastro family on your road to recovery... don't lose hope. My mom and I always watch your program. Wishing you a speedy recovery from Cape Town, South Africa.
heart goes out to them both poor son thats a lot to handle for a young man so glad he was able to help his dad
Buddy’s mom and dad from heaven are watching over him.
Buddy mom and dad passed away now!!!! When! It’s been a long time since I watched cake boss
StarDolleights like 2-3 years ago :(
Linda Pennypacker aww they passed :(
A representative said Valastro’s hand was injured when he tried to repair a malfunctioning pin setter in the bowling alley at his New Jersey home on Sept. 20.
His hand got stuck in the machinery and, unable to withdraw it, he watched as it was impaled three times by a 1½-inch metal rod between the ring and middle fingers.
Valastro’s sons - ages 13 and 16 - used a reciprocating saw to cut through the rod and release their father.
Ashley Sea thank you. I searched for this bc I did t know what happened.
Aahh !!
The sons handed the uncle the tools, the kids didn't actually do the work. But would of been very scary for them
THANK YOU
Finally someone knows what’s going on - what an uncomfortable interview - gma - flopped this one
"When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout" - but usually the opposite is far more effective.
I'm from Trenton new jersey been watching you and your family from the beginning I love you guys all the hopes for getting better preyers!!!!
Aww his son looks so upset and understandably so. What a brave kid.
I mean he’s lucky he still has all his fingers from the way it sounds.
God bless you with a speedy and full recover buddy, I'm so sorry to hear that's happened to you...
Growing up without a father, I had always watched cake boss when I was younger and just looked up to him so much. Glad he's alright ❤
I won't be surprised to see and hear his son baking and decorating cake just like his father soon.
Wish him well and full recovery soon, sounds a horrible experience
Havent got a bloody clue what happened other than he got his hand stuck.
his home bowling alley got jammed, he attempted to repair it and his hand was impaled by the machinery
@@MicrowaveFork Thank you! How did you figure that from this story? I watched it twice trying to find out what machine he was talking about...no mention of a bowling alley?
@@marccasteel8995 I ended up digging a bit deeper, It was in a article written a bit later - it seems like it might be something too graphic to mention on air.
So devastating, especially since his hands are integral to his talent and business. I hope for a speedy recovery and my condolences to his family.
And not to be a nosy fan, but it would help to see the video he made for the doctors. I cannot visualise the accident by his description.
@@jenaemarieAZ There was a special on TLC Network. It shows his injury ....I mean it shows everything. I just watched it the other day. Here is the link www.tlc.com/tv-shows/buddy-valastro-road-to-recovery/
I’m a huge fan of cake boss. Buddy is one of my inspirations and I’ve been watching since the beginning
His son was obviously traumatized! It rips my heart out to watch....
As a cake decorator myself I can’t imagine. I wish the best for him and his family. Keep your head up and keep moving forward to a speedy recovery!❤️
You're in our prayers and our thoughts. For a speedy recovery I think you'll heal well and sooner than you think take care glad you're okay
Love the cheer and chipper tone and background music while the casters introduce this horribly tragic story
Bizarre interview. They never clarify what “machine” caused the injury. Why is it a secret?
Bowling alley
No for real
I posted above. I think Bc that would take away from his injury. Like oh, let’s not everyone get distracted by the fact that he’s a wealthy reality Star...
Watch Wendy's show for the tea ☕
@@ThisBitchOnCamera he has a small 1 lane bowling alley in his basement.
i am praying that he will be recovering physically and emotionally soon and will be baking again.with God nothing is impossible.I'm from the Philippines and I'm a fan of Buddy.
Please, please get well, so proud of your sons,
Blessing all the way from Trinidad.
Hey Buddy,
Here in Va. praying for your full recovery!
