A few days ago, Joe Ma and Linda Chung were shooting an explosion scene for TVB new series Tiger Cubs II and had an accident. The two were sent to the hospital right after they completed the scene. Joe's MRI showed he had a tear in his ligaments in his right hand. Yesterday morning, he wrote on Weibo letting everyone know he's fine and was discharged from the hospital that afternoon. He expressed he's fine now, but will need some time to rest. He was initially suppose to head back to Mainland to shoot a new drama, but because of this accident, he may have to turn it down.

Joe said: "The doctor said I had 2 out of 3 ligaments torn, and if the third one was torn, it could have resulted in a dislocated joint and I would have had to get surgery."

Joe recalled the accident, "The moment after the explosion, I'm not sure if it was because of the steam in the air, but I just naturally fell forward. I didn't want Linda Chung to get even more injuries, so I put all my weight on my shoulders and placed my two hands on the ground. That's how I got my injury!" He expressed after the accident, he just knew it was very painful, but believes the severity of the pain wasn't too serious. Also, that day was the last day of filming, Joe didn't want to delay the filming progress, so after a quick break, they finished up the scene before sunset. Joe expressed he asked Linda if she was okay after the accident, and suggested she get a full check up to ensure there aren't any muscle or bone injuries.
