Australian Ninja Warrior star Fred Dorrington says he's lucky not to have a permanent spinal cord injury after a horrifying accident during training for the show.
The climbing instructor, 31, confirmed on Monday he'd dislocated his T12 and T11 vertebrae four days earlier after a 'bad fall'. He underwent surgery on Sunday.
He shared a short video to Instagram of his feet moving in a hospital bed, and said it was 'an incredibly grateful sight to see' as things could have been much worse.
