Henry Winkler is reflecting on the 17 seconds it took for him to crash his character's iconic motorcycle on the set of "Happy Days." Known for his breakout role as Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli in 1974, Winkler candidly detailed the crash, revealing that someone had to leap out of his way. "I rode it really for 17 seconds, in the beginning, going up the hill.That was it," the actor said during an appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show." "And there was a moment . . .

The 77-year-old actor recalled almost running over the director of photography on set before crashing the motorcycle. "He leaped out of the way," he continued.  "I put the bike down.
