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.

I would have thought they would have certain checks to do on tyres and other 'vital' parts to prevent such accidents
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

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!

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.
