Joe Rogan nearly died in a freak accident when he was a teenager, he shared on a recent episode of his The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
“When I was like 14, me and a few friends were playing around in this place where they stored these like enormous concrete sewer pipes, like these big f*cking pipes,” he told comedian and Impractical Jokers star Sal Vulcano, according to Newsweek. “And there was this giant metal thing that I guess was a part of what they attached to cranes so they could move these things. It slipped and hit me in the head. I didn’t go unconscious, but I grayed out — like grayed out — and my head was pouring blood.”
Rogan explained that he still has a “big ding” on his head from the incident.
He continued, “I went to the hospital, and I thought I was going to die. I did think I was going to die at that point. But I was also 14, so I was probably just freaked out by the fact that I got hit. This thing hit my head, and it only fell a certain amount because there were other concrete things in the way. So it banged me in the head, and it didn’t fall on me luckily.”
