Riley Green Accidentally Broke Fan’s Arm While Arm-Wrestling

Riley Green once turned a post-show challenge into a trip to the emergency room.

While performing at the Flora-Bama club on the Florida-Alabama state line, Green accepted an arm-wrestling challenge from a fan — then defeated several more.

“Some guy was like, ‘Let’s arm wrestle.’ I was like, ‘That’s weird,'” Green recalled to Taste of Country.

The crowd eventually brought out their strongest challenger, a 40-year-old man described as the “big guy.”

Green defeated him too — but not without consequence. The man’s arm buckled severely, requiring an ambulance.

“He had his arm laid over on the table, and an ambulance came and got him. I felt horrible about it,” Green said.

Asked if the injured man was a fan, Green quipped, “I don’t know. Not anymore.”
