Why were Adams ankles torn?

Adams' ankles were torn due to a specific incident or injury that is not widely documented in popular sources. Without additional context, it's challenging to provide a precise explanation. Generally, ankle injuries can occur from various activities, including sports, falls, or accidents, leading to strains, sprains, or tears in ligaments. If you can provide more details about the specific incident or individual referred to, I could offer a more tailored response.
