which I understand to be a loose biograpgy, Bruce Lee's back is broken. He amazes his wife and his doctors by recovering.

Now I here that never happened. Did bruce substain some massive back injury? what was it? how did it happen? Did he and linda ever explore the posibilitys of that weird bed thing they had him strapped on?

j/k about the last question but any links or info would intrest me.

Yes, Bruce did have a back injury that made him put in a bed for around 6 months time. He injured his back doing a Good Morning exercise for the lower back. This is where ya put a bar on the shoulders as if you are gonna do leg squats, but rather you lean forward using the lower back, then standing back up. He did too much.

This is also when he supposedly wrote alot of the book Tao of Jeet Kune Do.
