“I got hit by a jeep, I was on a bike, I got knocked.
“It was really weird I got hit, I did a front flip and then a back flip and I landed on the ground,” he said.
Steve admits that he was extremely fortunate to walk away with such minor injuries.

“I did a front flip and hit the wind screen and then cracked it and then did a back flip but I landed sitting up and somehow I didn’t hit my head.
“The doctors were like ‘how did you not hit your head?’. I was very lucky”, he admitted to ANDPOP.COM
He wasn’t the only one to escape from a road accident as guitarist Jason Boland also had a similar experience.

“I was cycling to work one day, I used to work in a golf course as a caddy so I had to get up at like six in the morning.
“It was still really icy and only that I was wearing a leather jacket it kind of stopped me. I fell off the bike just between two cars.
“I don’t know how it happened but I slid across the road and just missed the wheels as they came by. I could have lost my legs, luckily I didn’t,” he added.
