Dax Shepard had a little too much fun before going into quarantine.

Kristen Bell revealed that her husband broke his hand in an ATV accident — or rather an “essential off-roading trip” — prior to the lockdown.

“It was by himself but he was off-roading in the mountains and he had a buddy with him, but they were in separate off-road vehicles, and he got to an edge of a cliff,” the actress, 39, said on Wednesday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

“He was sitting on the edge of a cliff and he put his hand up just to look out and the weight of his arm tipped his Polaris RZR — is what he was on — over,” she explained. “You don’t get injured when you’re inside them, but I will tell you something, it did crush all the bones in his hand.”

Shepard, 45, is “very embarrassed by this injury,” Bell said, “because the cardinal rule is you don’t put your hands on the roll cage or outside the car at any time, that’s the only chance of injury.”

But more so than being embarrassed, he was actually scared of telling Bell what he had done.

“He didn’t call me,” Bell went on. “He drove home, and the first thing he said when he walked through the door was, ‘I just don’t want to be in trouble.’ Which is crazy because he’s never in trouble with me. Like, I’ll let you know if I’m disappointed in your actions, but I’m an adult, he’s an adult, I can’t get him in trouble.”

Rather than scold her husband, she said, “You’re not in trouble but it’s not the smartest move we could have made.”

The parents to daughters Delta, 5, and Lincoln, 7, then shared how Shepard performed his own surgery during self-isolation.

Hopefully the family of four is staying safe — and away from ATVs — during quarantine.
