A week later, Dale was severely injured while cooking popcorn when the hot oil exploded and left second-degree burns over much of his body, including his left hand, which is still reddened and deeply scarred from the accident. For instance, when I do shows to raise money for burn victims, now I can talk to them and know what they are going through. Dale also credits his ability to persevere to extensive training in martial arts, Eastern philosophy and his experiences raising exotic animals.
