How did Big Macintosh get injured?

Yes as we all know, Big Mac spends the entirety of the episode "Applebuck Season" with a somewhat serious injury that kept him from pulling his own weight during harvesting season, one of the important times of the year for the farm. How do you think he hurt himself?

I think Applejack mentioned how he hurt himself when she was explaining to Twilight why she was bucking all of the apples on her lonesome, but I can't find the clip anywhere :(

One would assume it was some sort of farmwork, though - which is a reasonable assumption :D

Simple, Applejack mentioned that she made a bet with Big Mac that if she managed to clear enough apples in time, then he'd wear one of Granny Smith girdles. Notice the bandages are around his barrel/midsection where one would typically wear a girdle. I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge that girdles aren't the most pleasant things to wear.

I was thinking he threw out his back by pulling too heavy of a load. It would actually match the moral of the episode perfectly, about not biting off more than you can chew.

It was never made official how he hurt himself, but it was made clear that he did indeed hurt himself. Applejack says so herself, and Applejack doesn't lie. We all know this by now.

 

Obviously the only logical explanation is that he was working too hard and threw his back out, as @crazitaco has mentioned. It gives him all the more reason not to let his little sister try to harvest all the apples all by herself.
