Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani got the scare of a lifetime Thursday when their 2 1/2-year-old son, Zuma, fell from a countertop at their home and broke his arm.

"It was probably one of the worst nights of our life," Rossdale, 45, told Us Weekly at Saturday's Simon G. Jewelry "Summer Soiree" party in Las Vegas. "It was a freak accident. He fell."

After a trip to the hospital with his panicked parents, Zuma is recovering well from his accidental injury.

"He's doing good now. Kids, they find a way," says Rossdale, also dad to 5-year-old Kingston. "You feel so much when something happens to [your] kids. It's the worst thing in the world."

If that happened to one of Angie & Brad's kids, I'll bet the haters will come out in full force attacking them for being bad parents. Double standard.

Hypocrites! Anyone who hasn't put a child on a counter is LYING. You're holding them, then you put them on the counter at eye level and talk to them. He's 2, he moves around. All it takes is a split second to look to the left or right and he's moved and simply fell off the edge.

the thing i cant help get over is "freak accident" when did gravity change? Lets see on high counter, what makes ANYONE think that there isn't the possibility of falling.

was not too scary, considering they went out on Saturday. That is not a freak accident, he was on the counter!!! Watch your kids, they are lucky he just got a broken arm and not TBI!!!

SO the question isn't what was he doing on the counter, but that if he broke his arm Thurs night- what were they doing at a party on Saturday? The worst night of their life, and two days later they're at a party??? Poor little kiddo. Why can't they stay home with their kid?

Christine, I was wondering the same thing.

A. I'm glad he's doing well and didn't break his neck instead of his arm and B. What was he doing on the counter???

they're also pretty resilient - kid was probably up and playing within several hours of the pain drugs wearing off - good thing it wasn't worse.

Poor Zuma. I think Gav and Gwen are the best parents ever. Of all the celebrities, they are the ones I see with the most hands on time with the kids. I love this family.!!!
