Blackwood shared a compilation of photos of his injuries in an Instagram post. "Grateful to see another day, walking away from the small stuff with a big purpose!" he mused. "Live bold, love deep, and make every moment count."
Santiago, for her part, said in an Instagram post she's "beyond grateful to be alive" after the incident.
"It hit us directly me on his left, him on my right as I bit into a delicious salmon slider. Out of nowhere, but we survived," she added.
For Santiago, what happened showed her "who truly matters."
"Life’s too short for grudges or anger. Let go, forgive, live in the now, and cherish those around you this could’ve been our last meal," she added. "Thankful to the universe and our angel pup Loyal, who passed in November 2024 and protected us from above."
The cause of the accident remains unknown as of writing.
Santiago and Blackwood are influencers who enjoy reviewing food items on social media. The former has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram while the latter has more than 38,000.
