Q: How did Malibu get injured?

A: He was on the event Human Cannonball in season one (1989), when he was kicked off of the pedestal (Causing the tuck rule to be enforced). This was not the injury, as on the way down he fell and cut his face. He later returned on that episode to finish out the season, but was booted from the show in favor of David "Titan" Nelson. Malibu did return though, albeit the American Gladiators live tour.
