"Nobody is ensured from injuries," Dmitry Chaplin says. "You could be a fully trained professional, top of the rank. One day something will go wrong. You just never know."
Steve-O's partner Lacey Schwimmer revealed later in the show that the former "Jackass" star injured himself two hours before the show when he landed on his back during rehearsal. Steve-O was taken to a hospital for medical treatment but Schwimmer assured fans that nothing is broken.
The other contestants are all too familiar with injuries, and they weighed in on the unfortunate incident and offered their support to the injured star.
"It goes to show that dancing is not a walk in the park, it's not the easiest thing in the world," Mark Ballas says. "It really is hard. It takes a toll on the body and you've got to pace yourself and be careful. People out there who watch the show don't understand how strenuous it actually is. Steve-O is probably one of the craziest toughest guys. The king of mastering pain and you know he's hurt, and I'm praying he'll be all right."
