It was bound to happen.....

Yeah, just read that in the local Metro. He also was locked inside a giant freezer with a car, to see which 'gave up' first because of the cold. It didn't tell me who won -which I'm pissed about- but I guess the human body did, due to RH being alive & all.

It makes you wish it was Clarkson all said and done

Been waiting for this thread to appear all day....glad to see mostly well wishing thoughts and Id like to join that list.

He sounds in a pretty bad way. I hope he isn't crippled for the sake of his kids. His star has really been on the rise since he was a humble radio reporter at Radio Cumbria.

I wonder if we will see another episode of Top Gear?

[The Last Word]

It was an incredibly stupid and vain thing to do, but I hope he pulls through. Don't fancy an avalanche of celeb petrol-head bullshit in the media, though Clarkson has already started it seems.

Richard Hammond always had a reputation of a risk taker. Lets face it he has been submerged in a car, frozen in a freezer and countless other risky things on Top Gear and Brainiac.

Top Gear has been totally obessessed with speed the last few series. Why someone who isn't a trained racing driver was driving a car that could go from 0 to 270mph in 6 seconds is beyond me. And should someone with two young children really be taking these risks is another question.

That said, he seems a really great guy and lets hope he comes through.
