From March 30, 1999: Fabio gets hit by a goose riding Apollo's Chariot

The supermodel was at Busch Gardens Williamsburg to celebrate its then-newest roller coaster, Apollo's Chariot. He took a front seat inaugural ride... but ended up with a face of feathers and a bloody nose in need of stitches.

Billions of people on this planet and that goose hits Fabio.

Shout out to the goose for sacrificing himself for perpetual comedy gold. Gone but not forgotten ❤️.

Why do birds suddenly appear, every time, you are near?

[marcus]

Anyone else here because of Adam Savage, the Slow Mo Guys and Bobby Fingers?

[TheSunGoethDown]

Fabio: This is going to happen again.
Year 2020: It has never, ever happened to anyone else on the planet. Fabio is just unlucky.

Everything about this is so perfect. The little shake of the hair when the ride sets off, the look of wounded pride and machismo as the ride pulls into the platform. The blonde girl touching his arm and kind of laughing trying to tell him it's no big deal, the tiny splatters of blood on the face of the girl behind and the interview after is just gold. A perfect moment.

Anyone else disappointed we didn't get footage of the goose? 😂

[RemixedVoice]

It's actually pretty amazing how rare this actually happens, I would expect it to happen more but it really doesn't happen very often.

Meanwhile on GooseTube: Jeff gets hit by human face.

Makes you wonder how he reacted when someone yelled "Duck!"

[colsher]

It takes a lot for me to cry tears of laughter yet here I am wiping my tears.

The fact that he says "it wasn't a freak accident, a child could be killed" is like the cherry on top 🤣 I think his ego was bruised

[barbaracoleman]

I was at work and heard about this on a patient's TV. It WAS a freak accident because it never happened again. And I have ridden it several times. Great coaster!

Every once in a while I remember that this video exists and it makes me laugh so hard. The most talented comedians in the world could not have come up with something this funny.

Anyone come here after the girl in jersey got a seagull straight to the face? I heard on the radio that this happened to Fabio and was super disappointed that even with a camera mounted in the front, they wouldn’t show the clip.

[brentphillips]

It's as though the Greek gods were offended by Fabio impersonating a god so Zeus took the form of a goose to smite him in the face. XD

I Can't Believe it's Not Possible to See the Goose Hit

[adamblackshaw]

There's a camera mounted on the front of the ride facing him. It must have recorded the incident. RELEASE THE FOOTAGE!!!

[MJ-oiwb]

even the girl next to him saying are you all right...is laughing

[camdenhanson]

I can’t believe he blamed it on the ride😂
