Carey Hart injured in motocross training accident
Carey Hart has "severed [his] small intestine from [his] colon".
The 49-year-old motocross rider - who has children Willow, 13, and Jameson, eight, with wife Pink - sustained a "nasty" injury while practicing on his bike earlier this week and despite requiring multiple stitches, he has insisted he is doing "fine".
Sharing photos from hospital, including pictures of his bandaged torso and the lengthy line of stitches underneath, Carey wrote on Instagram: "Welp, I ran out of talent [face palm and cry laughing emojis].
"I had a pretty nasty get off, practicing Thursday morning. Landed off a jump, bars knifed, and took the bar to the gut while going over the bars.
"As I understand it, severed my small intestine from my colon. I'm fine and will recover from this. (sic)"
After thanking a friend for taking him to hospital, Carey also praised his wife for her support.
He wrote: "Just a big thank you to @feedbigb for talking me into going to the ER, and a huge thanks to @pink . As always does in these situations w/ me, she steps up and takes charge at the hospital. Sorry to put you through this, yet again [cry laughing emoji].
"Thanks Willz and Jamo for coming to visit today. (sic)"
Carey is planning to take a few days to recover then promised to get back to friends who have contacted him over the last few days.
He concluded: "Gonna rest up this week, and start the healing process. ***sorry to everyone I ghosted over the last couple days. There was a good reason for it [cry laughing emojis]. I'm gonna take a few days off, and I'll catch up with everyone next week.(sic)"
Just a few months ago, Carey sustained a "dumb" ankle injury while taking part in 'Special Forces' and had to leave the Fox reality show early as a result.
He told UsWeekly: "Truthfully, it was so dumb.
"It's my own fault that that happened. We were running this brutal workout through the mud holes and into the splash pond and all these things. It was absolutely freezing outside. I got hurt because I wasn't paying attention. It's my own fault that that happened. We were running this brutal workout through the mud holes and into the splash pond and all these things. It was absolutely freezing outside. I got hurt because I wasn't paying attention.
"I went and sat and thawed out in the shower and the wrist was one thing. I'm pretty good with tape. I could have got through it, but there was no way I could complete the next couple of days of that show with a blown-up ankle."
And Carey recalled giving the 'So What' hitmaker a scare when he called to tell her what had happened.
He added: "I FaceTimed her that night. At the moment I got hurt, it was probably around midnight. So by the time I made it back to the hotel and got my phone out of the safe and all the things, it was probably 3 o'clock in the morning U.K. time.
"She'd known the period of the time of the show and probably in the back of her mind, she knows anytime my phone's going to ring before that last day, I'm going to be [hurt]. So her initial [reaction] — she was wide-eyed, kind of white as a ghost, asking, 'Are you alright?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, it's just my old body!"

Influencer slammed for ‘cruel' activity while in Egypt
Tammy Hembrow's holiday to Egypt has been slammed on social media after she took photos in revealing outfits at tourist attractions in the conservative country and allegedly rode an abused camel. The 31-year-old influencer experienced the trip hosted by Aweventurer last week and was spotted riding on the back of a camel in several photos and videos posted by other travelling content creators on the tour. However, she hid the snaps from her own page, posting only a photo of two camels from the ride with a pyramid in the background. The series of photos have angered animal activists who have called for the Saski activewear founder to speak out about the backlash. Bailey Mason, who runs Instagram account Warrior For Animals, commented on the photos, highlighting the abuse inflicted on the camels in Egypt's tourism industry. 'I am an animal rights campaigner and am deeply disappointed @tammyhembrow rode abused camels,' Mr Mason wrote in a post shared to his Instagram. 'I am glad the post has been removed but more needs to be done against exploitation in tourism.' Hembrow was spotted riding on the back of a camel in several photos and videos posted by other travelling content creators. Credit: Supplied The animal rights campaigner also commented on one of Hembrow's Egypt posts, saying: 'I'm politely asking if you can do your bit to end the exploitation of animals in tourism. 'I've been supporting you for a long time even praising you for advocating for eating more plant based foods in 2020 to help the environment and of (course) animal welfare.' Hembrow's followers also took to the comments section of the mother-of-three's posts, sharing messages of disappointment. 'How about don't torture animals and don't ride a camel?!! Can't believe it's even on the program,' one follower said. Another person said: Do you have any idea how they are being treated and how exhausted they are from all the moronic tourists exploiting them for no f***ing reason.' 'Please leave animals and carriage rides out of your plans. Very cruel would never visit a country with such lack for empathy or regulations on animal welfare,' a third added. The negative commentary resulted in the travel company removing the camel rides from the tour itinerary. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. 'Update: we have taken on feedback and removed the camel riding from the itinerary,' Aweventurer staff wrote in the comments. According to an article by PETA Australia updated in April, camels continue to suffer from injury and skin disease because they're denied sufficient veterinary treatment. In 2019, PETA Asia investigations at the Great Pyramid of Giza and Luxor's royal tombs documented abuse of horses and camels who pull tourists in carriages or serve as photo props in severe conditions without appropriate shade or food. It seems Hembrow's trip has been marred with controversy after people also took aim at her revealing outfit choices while checking out tourist hot spots. Many of her posts from the getaway show the social media sensation exposing her tattooed arms and midriff while wearing a headscarf. 'Pretty sure this is cultural appropriation cause you're not wearing that scarf to cover your body,' one person said. Another added: 'A holiday to Egypt, while half naked, is possibly one the most time [sic] deaf things I've ever seen.' 'Your choice of clothing is actually quite offensive to the locals Your travel advisor should have told you about local etiquette,' a third added. While there is no legal dress code in Egypt, it is considered respectful for tourists to follow the cultural norm of modest attire.
