Racing a former NFL running back is never a good idea, particularly if you are a 44-year-old comedian. Kevin Hart learned this lesson the hard way and is now in a wheelchair for the time being.
Hart posted a video to Instagram where he explained his injury. He and Stevan Ridley got into an argument about who would win in a race, so they decided to settle it by running the 40-yard dash. As expected, it did not go well for him.
Kevin said he tore multiple muscles in his abdomen, as he laid out his injuries in agonizing detail. He also said the incident was a clear reminder that he is no longer a spring chicken.
“We get out there, we go run the 40-yard dash,” Hart said. “40-yard dash. Guys, I blew all my s–t. Tore my lower abdomen, my abductors. I don’t even know what that is, but I tore them. I tore those too. I can’t walk. Sit my ass down. This is 44.”
Hart received a bit of feedback from other celebrities with stars like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Will Smith commenting on the video.
Even if Kevin Hart had not gotten hurt, it would be hard to imagine the race turning out well for him. After a successful career at LSU, Ridley played eight seasons in the NFL, four of them with the New England Patriots. In 2012, Ridley rushed for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns.
That is not the type of person to be challenged to a race, a mistake Hart will not be making again.
