It has been revealed by People Magazine that Mariska’s collapsed lung was actually from doing her own stunt on SVU-not a sledding accidnet which has been widely reported. At her recent appearance at the American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala she told People:

“I’ve been doing my own stunts on the show for 10 years. I fell wrong, basically. I collapsed my lung doing a stunt.”

Mariska is now back to her former health:

“I’m 100 percent. I’m back to my old self.”

Mariska actually said the following in her recent cover of Health Magazine:

For 10 years, we said, “We have to do our own stunts.” We’d have to be badasses. I don’t know what we were trying to prove. And now we’re both like, “No way! Let the stunt double do it!” The fact is, we can get hurt, and we do get hurt.

A hint that we didn’t pick up on? Either way it is great to hear that she is back to her former health.
