'Cake Boss' star Buddy Valastro impales hand in 'terrible' bowling accident
The injury was to Valastro's dominant right hand and he will need 'prolonged recovery & therapy'

The Food Network star's hand was impaled after getting it stuck in the bowling pinsetter, a representative for his company confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday. He underwent surgery earlier this week.

A malfunction with a pinsetter, which has been an easy fix in the past, caused Valastro's hand to become lodged and compressed inside the machine, his spokesperson said.

"Unable to remove his hand, he can see a 1 1/2 inch metal rod slowly and repeatedly impale his hand three times between his ring finger and middle finger," the spokesperson said.

More than five minutes elapsed and he was still unable to remove his hand. His son cut him free from the machine using a reciprocating saw, which he used to cut through the metal rod, the spokesperson said.

4. I have spent thousands and thousands of hours bowling and never, ever,

did I say to myself "Hey, I think I'll stroll on up the lane and put my hand in that pinsetter."

How does this happen?

and call the technician.
