Murphy jumped on his bike for the short ride without wearing his helmet.

“My brain was being pushed over the left,” he said. “Things weren’t going so well and I actually went into a coma.” He found his"own way to rehab" with pushups — at first, he struggled to do 20.

He returned to dancing much sooner than any doctor expected he would with no negative side effects.
