Before Katie and Travis told the full story of what happened, Bringing Up Bates fans speculated it might have been a fireworks mishap.

A little later, Travis and Katie explained to their Instagram followers what had happened. He was racing some of the guys to see who could climb a rope the fastest. When Travis slipped, he had the option to fall 15 to 20 feet down to the ground or grab the rope and burn his hands. He ended up with blisters all over his hands.

Travis and Katie decided not to show fans the blisters because of how bad they looked. The Bringing Up Bates couple said that the burns and blisters went several layers deep. However, they didn’t appear to go to the doctor to have them checked out. Some of Katie’s brothers helped wrap up Travis’ hands.

Due to his injury, Katie Bates will have to do all of the driving on their trip back to New Jersey. Hopefully, his hands start feeling better in no time!
