https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/jay-leno-all-black-blue-60-foot-downhill-tumble-19932190.phpJay Leno is 'all black and blue' and sporting an eye patch after 60-foot downhill tumble
LOS ANGELES For the third year in a row, Jay Leno is bouncing back after an ugly injury. This time around, the culprit was a steep hill that the 74-year-old comedian misjudged.
Leno was stepping out for dinner a few hours before his Friday show at the Palace Theatre in Pittsburgh when he opted for a shortcut unfortunately, one that left him rolling 60 feet down a hill and hitting several rocks along the way, he told TMZ on Monday as he arrived at the Comedy for Koby event in Beverly Hills.
"I fell down, just boom, boom, boom," he said, laughing at himself and flipping up his eye patch to reveal a sprawling bruise.
Along with hurting his eye, Leno broke his wrist and lost a nail, he told Inside Edition: "I am all black and blue."
-------------------
On November 12, 2022, Leno suffered "serious burns" to his face and hands when a vehicle at his Los Angeles garage burst into flames.[103] As part of the treatment, he received a "new ear".[104] On January 17, 2023, he sustained multiple broken bones after falling off a motorcycle.[105]

short cuts on flat well lit streets are ok. avoid short cuts through the bush

Note to self: It's not a "shortcut" when you have to go to the hospital

I hope he's learned his lesson! At 74, you're far from your dangerous youth.
Please be more careful.

Fortunately, in Delaware, we dont have any hills at all. Although I have fallen downstairs before.

Don't take short cuts if your are over 70.

Sorry for your tumble, Jay. Here's hoping for a quick recovery.

It wasn't his fault.
He's not that kind of guy
Whatever you do, don't blame Conan.
