Anyone who ever said that this wasnt a bad car crash needs to go get their eyes test. clearly it was bad! look at the ruins of the car, he was in a coma for a week, he forgot most of his life, including his wife! imagine that, having people tell you and learn you what you did before the accident. People die in car accidents every day in Britain, averaging about 60-70 miles an hour on a motorway, he was going almost 5 times as fast.Anyone can see he was lucky to survive. Next time - Think again.
getting livid that some people on here are saying that this wasn't even a bad crash. he was going.over 300mph when the tyre blew and was spinning.at 250mph with his head smashing in to the ground which is what stopped the car. this was a terrible crash answers is shown by the injuries he came out with. i remember they didn't.even.know if he would come out of the.coma so must have been a bad enough crash. Richard seems like a great guy so.people stop being haters and have some respect
anybody that says that it wasnt that bad is flippin stupid . the human body can be torn in half at 55 mph. he was lucky to survive the crash and blessed as well . if you disagree ... go crash yourself and see just how it feels . if you survive it then i am sure you will apreciate the the value of life on a whole new level . if you dont ..... then you wont be able to bitch about it any more .
@1969bobman i was in a major crash btw, going 95mph, car span 9 times the driver was thrown from the car broke his back in 3 places among other places on his body and couldnt walk for 6 months, i broke my arm and and left leg and smashed my knee to pieces, we may not of been going that fast but it was bit my crazy than a couple rolls on grass
@waynekingish trolling aint ez. He was goin 280mph+ when the tire blew and over 225mph when it was upside down on the grass, but na thats not fast right?
@TheNightgrinder i didnt say it was 'ez' or that it wasnt fast i said the crash wasnt that bad which it wasnt. theres been bigger crashes than that and the person has walked away.
this is about as unpremeditated as the war in iraq i bet. doubly so in fact cause it's this horseplay that is designed to distract and boost the type of superiority sentiment that made sick anglos like churchill start world wars
@NORMANGODS The tyre degradation at almost 300mph is insane. Richard Hammond did maybe 2 or 3 runs in the car before the run where he did the crash. I was extremely surprised that they didn't replace the tyres after each run because they'd be ruined after just one run
@swot4life786 You know nothing, those tyres had been on that car for 5 years, the damage that caused the de-lamination was caused on the run before but missed by the driver. Had the regular driver been in the cockpit he would have picked it up.
Good film... That truly is testament to the quality of Arai helmets and the superior skills of a cameraman who didn't miss a beat when radical happens at 200 mph!
@Sinfizz there are tyres as used on things like bob cats, they are rubber all the way to the rim. no air. i dare call the solid tryes but i dnt think that is the right terminology for them, they also use them on some race bikes, and mountain bikes. obviously you are not aware , but that doesnt make you stupid, just ignorent. by the way get a life
@JEMOMER tbh i didnt look i just assumed. ive never had to fit a solid tyre before. but even if they do exist then why would they put them on a car where they are trying to save as much weight as possible...
@Sinfizz they fit solid tyres because the hollow tyres cant handle the rotational forces, they tend to do as this one did and rip themselves apart, they use bare metal ones for the land speed records
@Sinfizz So if you knew all of this why would you call me an idiot , You idiot. do i look sound like a super car engineer to you, for Fuk sake, Dude Get a life. obviously the technological advances are there for them to be able to do such things, maybe they should have looked into it, instead of being a knob like you. the car looked pretty light weight to me by the end of that vid. im sure its perfect now, with out all the extra tyres and body parts.you ignorant dweeb
I'm divided about Stewart Lee, half the time his stuff is hilarious, and half the time it's like watching someone talk themself into commiting suicide. There's no denying he's a throughly clever bloke though.
I do like TG, mainly because I've had the pleasure of meeting James May and Jezza and they were funny and friendly people. Completely the opposite to how they come across on the show.
