He appeared on "Today" for his first interview since the accident at his home in Montville, New Jersey, where he described his sons springing into action to help free him from the pinsetter that trapped his hand, eventually requiring two emergency surgeries. "It just blew out half of my hand," Valastro told. He went on to say that his right hand, his dominant hand, was stuck in a "fork" in the machine and then punctured by a blunt metal rod. "I thought I was going to faint," Valastro said in the interview. "I looked at my hand and there was blood everywhere." He then told his sons to get a saw and pliers. His two sons and brother-in-law were able to remove a bolt and free his hand after five minutes, he said, although there was still a metal piece wedged in his hand.
