Road to recovery. Buddy Valastro is on the mend after he accidentally impaled his hand while bowling with his family at their New Jersey home. The Cake Boss star, 43, shared a photo on Wednesday, September 23, via Instagram of himself in a hospital bed with a bandaged right arm. “I was involved in a terrible accident a few days ago,” he captioned the post. “What do you think of my new accessory? #recoveryjourney #positivevibes #ironfist.”

The Buddy vs. Duff star‘s rep tells Us Weekly, “Buddy was spending some quality time on Sunday bowling with his family. There was a malfunction with the bowling pinsetter, a common fix in the past, but turned into a terrible accident. After trying to release the bowling pin from the cage mechanism, his right hand became lodged and compressed inside the unit.
