Gordon Ramsay says he’s “lucky to be here” after crashing his bicycle earlier this week in Connecticut.

“I had a really bad accident, and it really shook me. Honestly, I’m lucky to be here,” the “MasterChef” star, 57, said in a graphic video he shared to Instagram June 15.

Ramsay went on to acknowledge the “incredible” doctors and nurses who treated his injuries at a hospital before urging followers to wear a helmet on every bike ride.

“I don’t care how short the journey is. I don’t care, you know, the fact that these helmets cost money, but they’re crucial,” he said to fans. “Even with the kids, a short journey, they’ve got to wear a helmet.”

“I’m lucky to be standing here. I’m in pain. It’s been a brutal week, and I’m sort of getting through it,” Ramsay said, lifting up his chef’s jacket to reveal his horrifically bruised torso.
