SAN FRANCISCO -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger broke his leg while skiing with his family Saturday morning in Sun Valley, Idaho, a spokesman said.

Schwarzenegger, 59, was taken to a hospital for X-rays and was discharged with a fracture to his right femur, said Adam Mendelsohn, the governor's Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications.

He will have surgery to repair the bone when he returns to Los Angeles, Mendelsohn said. The governor remained at his Sun Valley home Saturday night and still planned to spend Christmas there.

No one else was involved in the accident, Mendelsohn said...

He must have taken one hell of a tumble to break a femur bone. That's probably the stoutest bone in the human body. :eek:

I guess he is getting up in age though so his bones may be getting brittle.
dittohead not!

He's just a kid who hasn't even yet seen his 60th. birthday.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_a_leg--"Break a leg" is a well-known saying in theatre which means "good luck". It is typically said to actors before they go out onto stage to perform.

I suppose skiing into a tree and breaking a leg is luckier than doing a Sonny Bono, however....

I'll pass on the skiing into trees altogether if you don't mind.
