According to Deseret News, Danza crashed while skiing near his condo in Deer Valley. Danza had been traveling 50 miles per hour at the time, per The Orlando Sentinel. Then he slapped into a tree. “The accident is legendary in Utah. It was a major wipeout,” shared Danza’s former “Deadly Whispers” producer, Leonard Hill. The producer also revealed that Danza’s crash became part of the local lexicon. “People will come down the mountain saying, ‘Boy, I Danza-ed going down the Rattler,'” added Hill.

Danza’s injuries included a broken back, ribs, and other scrapes and required surgery. Days after the operation, Danza’s publicist announced to Deseret News that Danza was alert and aware of what had happened. Unfortunately, not everything was smooth sailing. During a 2018 Q&A with Men’s Journal, Danza revealed that his surgery didn’t turn out exactly like he wanted. “There were screws and rods involved — something went wrong and now I’m always a little crooked,” said the actor when speaking about his level of vanity. “I kind of lean to the left.”
