Simon Cowell has reportedly vowed to stay away from bikes after breaking his arm. The 62-year-old star - who came off his e-bike last week - is said to have narrowly avoided serious injury after flying over his handlebars in the "horror" crash, which comes 18 months after he broke injured his back following a similar fall. A source told MailOnline: "Simon has vowed not to go on a bike again.
It was a horror show but fortunately it looked worse than it actually is. " The 'Britain's Got Talent' boss - who wasn't wearing a helmet - was taken to hospital after the incident with suspected concussion, cuts on his face and a broken arm. It's said Simon is "lucky to be alive" after slipping on a "wet patch" in the road near his London home, and he has since been spotted in a yellow cast.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Simon is lucky to be alive. “He was pedalling along, with his electric motor on, when the wheels suddenly went from under him after hitting a wet patch. "He slipped and went flying over the handlebars into the middle of the road.
" It's said Simon - who apparently "wasn't wearing a helmet" - was helped by three passers-by as they made sure he was safe from oncoming traffic. The source added: "Three kindly passers-by jumped into action, and stopped the traffic so he wouldn’t be run over. “After being ambulanced to hospital and given an X-ray, Simon was eventually released that evening — his arm in a yellow cast all the way up to the shoulder — and told to rest.
" Meanwhile, it's said the media mogul is "absolutely fine" after the scary incident. A different source told PEOPLE magazine: "He fell off his bike and broke his arm. He's absolutely fine.
