In a recent episode of the popular French TV show 'Fort Boyard', Dr. Jimmy Mohamed sustained a double fracture of his ankle during the horlogerie challenge. The injury occurred approximately 20 minutes into the filming, which aimed to raise funds for the charity 'Stand Speak Rise up!', dedicated to combating war-related sexual violence. Mohamed, known for his role on 'Mag de la santé', was participating alongside other celebrities like Stéphane Bern and Théo Curin.
Following the severe injury, Mohamed attempted to minimize the incident by saying, "I’ll go take a little trip to the infirmary," before temporarily leaving the challenge. He later returned to continue participating but was seen with a splint on his ankle. Despite the setback, Mohamed described his recovery process as "long and painful."
This occurrence is not unique; 'Fort Boyard' has seen its fair share of injuries, including broken ribs and an open skull in past seasons. The production ensures contestant safety by having trained first aid staff, including an emergency doctor and a firefighter, present during filming.
With notable injuries such as these, the show's high-stakes challenges continue to draw significant attention, raising both awareness and funds for worthy causes.
