Except the stupid road building segment...

Nothing the hamster could have done when the tyre went, the parachute wouldn't have done a thing to prevent the accident.

Thought he looked a bit thin and some of the confidence had gone, sure he'll settle back into it over the series though.

There goes a man with some big brass ones! Just shows there must be some one up there after all!

I would have thought they would have certain checks to do on tyres and other 'vital' parts to prevent such accidents

Like Clarkson said, he should have turned into it.

he did! if you wath the bit where he goes onto the grass i'm sure he's turning into the slide.

288mph.... only a little more than anyone** can achieve in a Veryon!

How long before a 300mph road car is available I wonder?

Cheers,
James

**Anyone with 800grand for a Veryon!



...or a Rover SD1 and a 27litre tank engine!

Footage from the program now up on the bbc website
--> HERE <--

On the subject of health and safety and possible prosecutions, while I don't think anything could have prevented the accident, not having an ambulance racing to the wreck could be costing someone a lot of cash.
