He blew the same ACL a fourth and final time wheeling for a fan and stepping off of the bike. Watts’ most recent injury was acquired setting up for a riding school in 2009. He broke his back in a “simple, slow-speed fall” fracturing five vertebrae, which required six of them to be fused together. It was stated that the doctors’ first assessment was that he would be unable to ride again.
