Yah sure. "Hey Rick, you can break your hand while shooting but NO MORE HOCKEY! Shame, shame!"

LOL! He didn't break the hand during filming (although he did get a serious back injury on location, a few years later). I've never found out how he broke his hand, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was either hockey or skiing.

The kind of activity they were trying to limt was skydiving, auto racing . . . things like that.

He was doing all his own stunts on MacGyver, too, with as few exceptions as he could manage. (In the opening gambit 'Pegasus' -- the one with the horse and rider airlifted away by helicopter -- he did the whole thing up to the point where the horse was just off the ground. Then they made him stop and let the nice professional stuntman finish the shot. He was disappointed.)

And after all that, the injury I mentioned above didn't happen during a stunt. It was a standard run-across-a-field shot. He made a misstep and fell, and eventually ended up in surgery for it.
