On Sunday (August 11), the 39-year-old host took to his Instagram and revealed how lucky he is to be alive after getting into an accident that could have paralyzed him for life, or worse. He said the incident happened last Monday as he was riding his bike headed to pick up his son from school and bring him home. However, he “never made it” to his son’s school.
Sharing multiple videos and photos of his recovery in the hospital, Schulman began to detail the accident in his caption, stating, “I went fishing with my family on Sunday. It was incredible, my son’s idea. One of those days that just work. We found an available boat (thank you Captain Ben!) and caught all kinds of fish, most of which we threw back because they were too cute. Especially the puffer. It was magical. A day full of love and wonder in the way only calm days in nature with family can be. Monday was not a day like that.”

Recalling the fateful day, Schulman stated, “Monday was a day where I learned what ‘before the accident’ really means. And Monday gave weight to just how lucky I was to have Sunday. It’s true what they say – life can change in an instant. I never made it to pick up my son from school on the bike. In fact, in some ways, I’m glad I didn’t. I was alone on impact. Me and the truck. And then I guess the pavement. I was alone and unconscious. And then conscious. Maybe I was fine (I wasn’t. Maybe I can still do my long run on Thursday (I couldn’t).”
Schulman revealed, “I broke my neck. C5 and C6 to be exact. Stable fractures. I’m not paralyzed. My hands were a question mark there for a minute but the human body is incredible and so are HUMANS. The incredible knowledge and care from everyone in the medical community has been so remarkable. Starting with the EMS and on to the Southampton Emergency Room and the Stony Brook ICU. It’s hard to feel sorry for myself when I hear from the doctors about how many people with similar injuries will never walk again.”
Concluding his caption about breaking his neck in his biking accident, ‘ Catfish ‘ host Nev Schulman stated, “I’m lucky to be here, alive, standing and hugging my family, projected to make a full recovery. And I’m really starting to understand the meaning of gratitude. For the big and little things before the accident, and now everything moving forward. We hadn’t planned on fishing last Sunday and my instinct was to say no to scramble-planning a day trip, but looking back a week later, I’m so glad I said yes.”
