The Highwire — Del Bigtree broke four ribs skiing (02/17/26, video 01:17)
Fans of The Highwire may have wondered why Del Bigtree looked as though he was ailing during a recent clip from the 02/12/26 show (thehighwire.com/ark-vid…).
Well, here’s the answer: the poor guy broke four ribs skiing. Fortunately, no head injury and the ribs weren’t displaced. But it’s gonna hurt like heck for months.
Get well, Del! ❤️🩹⛷️
From Del Bigtree’s 02/17/26 X post:
So, this happened. Lots of you have reached out - I want to sincerely thank you all for your messages, calls, and prayers! I’m not going to lie this is incredibly painful but I’ll take 4 broken ribs over a head injury all day every day. Heading home and looking forward to giving my body the rest that it needs. I’ll be doing all the natural things to heal- homeopathy, red light therapy, etc. but if you have something tried and true that worked for you, feel free to share it here so that everyone else can hear it too.
