There are few people as iconic to a decade as The Hoff is to the 1990s, having starred in the wildly popular television franchise "Baywatch," which saw some of the most famous ladies in those years become famous, from Pamela Anderson to Carmen Electra - still, it seems he's overworking himself even 20 years later, as can be inferred from David Hasselhoff's broken back.

After the success that made him one of the richest people on television in the 1990s, the actor and singer has been working mostly on talent shows in the past decade, having been a part of "Dancing with the Stars" as well as being in the judges' panel for both "America's Got Talent" and "Britain's Got Talent" - but he'll certainly be halting things to a more quiet life for a while after news of Hasselhoff's broken back.

According to The Examiner, Hasselhoff's broken back occurred as the "SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" actor crash landed over a sand dune while riding a beach vehicle in the style of a quad bike, then falling the wrong way.

"So I'm flying through the air," the actor and judge explained, according to Contact Music, revealing the first information about Hasselhoff's broken back. "It crashed down. I broke a vertebra. It's broken right now."

There's no further information about Hasselhoff's broken back, though injuries in the region can be quite bad, and The Hoff hasn't yet specified whether he'll be needing surgery, or what vertebra he broke and what could be the way to ultimately handle it.

According to Express, other Hoff-related news, it seems like the actor, famous for being self-absorbed and self-referential, recently added a Google Alert to his own name, so he can know when he's being searched and why.

In any case, while an injury like Hasselhoff's broken back is quite serious at any age, the fact that Hasselhoff's 62 years old can't make matters any better in terms of future recovery.
