Just weeks after emerging unscathed from his record car jump at Red Bull: New Year. No Limits., Travis Pastrana has now reportedly broken his collarbone.
Jolene Van Vugt, Travis’ Nitro Circus colleague, broke the news in her Twitter blog, along with a picture of the great man looking rather rueful with his shoulder in a sling.
Nitro Circus is an MTV reality show featuring Jolene, unofficial Nitro Circus leader Travis and a host of other stars, including former Jackass favorite Johnny Knoxville, who perform dangerous stunts in each episode. Jolene and Travis were apparently riding in Florida when Travis’ accident happened.
On New Year’s Eve, Travis jumped a Subaru Impreza rally car 269 feet from Pine Avenue Pier onto a barge in the water in front of 75,000 fans in Long Beach, California, and millions more around the world, at Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. Despite crashing his Impreza in practice, Travis managed to avoid injury in the build-up to his record feat, as well as on the big night itself.
But it seems his luck ran out yesterday.
It’s nevertheless not a new concept for the 26-year-old to deal with. In the past, he has suffered numerous back, shoulder, knee and wrist injuries. His first serious injury was when he was just 14 – the most serious put him in a coma and then in a wheelchair for three months.
He may be injured again, but one thing’s for sure – Travis will soon be back…
