When I first read the title, I thought he fell off his wife :D

Matthew Broderick has been discharged from an Ireland hospital after receiving treatment for a broken collarbone that he sustained while horseback riding. He and his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, were vacationing at their summer home in Ireland with their son and other members of their family when the accident occurred on a secluded beach in Donegal.

Ireland doesn't seem to like Matthew Broderick all that much, because that is where he also received a broken leg, broken ribs and a punctured lung in a car accident in 1987 after his rental car veered onto the wrong side of the road, killing two women in an oncoming car. Coincidentally, he married Sarah Jessica Parker ten years later. I'm not sure if this was this was some kind of delayed justice or what, but having to spend the rest of your life with this creature seems a little extreme. You really shouldn't need a horse whisperer to tell you that your wife doesn't like it when you ignore her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school absences. You can reach my parents at their places of business. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your concern for my well-being. Have a nice day! "

His rental car veered into the other lane, or he did? Sounds like he was either drunk, or really confused about which side of the road to drive on, and killed two people. I will have to do some research into the validity of this statement.

Broderick met actress Jennifer Grey on the set of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. On August 5, 1987, she was with him as he drove on a rain-slicked road on the outskirts of Enniskillen in Northern Ireland. Broderick drove his rented BMW 316 head-on into another car carrying 63-year-old Margaret Doherty and her 30-year-old daughter Anna Gallagher; both women were killed. Broderick had to be cut out of the car; he suffered facial lacerations and a broken thigh. Grey escaped with minor injuries. Broderick had no memory of the event and Grey was distracted at the moment of the accident, changing audio tapes and seeing nothing. The lack of witnesses, skid marks, or other evidence led Broderick to plead guilty in absentia on February 15, 1988 to the lesser charge of careless driving. He was fined £100. [1]

Back in the United States, when asked about his trip to Northern Ireland, Broderick noted that he wanted to put the experience behind him. "My leg was broken", he says, "I was badly messed up. I have no desire to be more badly hurt. I don't feel that I need to have more misfortune or that anything bad has to happen to me to pay for this. I can say it's over, and I'm really glad it's over. I want to go on."

From Wikipedia. Seems suspect to me.
