Speaking at the Prix Italia event in L’Aquila, Vespa explained that the incident occurred while he was performing gymnastics at home. He stated that he stood up from a mat without proper support, causing him to slip and strike a sharp corner.

The accident resulted in injuries to his face, nose, shoulder, and humerus.

Despite the severity of the injuries, he noted that an ophthalmological examination confirmed no damage to his eyes.
