You are totally right there Jase, although I think people are just trying to make sense of what happened and at the moment there are quite a few conflicting reports as to his condition, the speed he was travelling and alsorts.

Get well soon Richard
I have just been watching the ITV News and they said he was doing over 300 mph when he crashed !!!!!

I will say a prayer for him tonight and hope that he is quickly back on the road to a full recovery.

The car he was in holds the land speed record of 300.3mph. If he was over that, he at least set the record before the crash!

Most reports quote 280mph though

There is already a thread over in Parc Ferme on the accident.

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...38#post1714938

Apparently was driving at near enough to 300mph in a jet powered dragster.

There are several links in the other thread to various News reports.

Update from BBC News, quotes one of the guys first at the scene:

Quote:
"We were down there with Top Gear who were filming him trying to break the British land speed record.

"On the previous run, the car had just gone over 300mph but I am not sure if it had broken the record.

"They had just done one more run and were planning to finish when it veered off to the right.

"One of the parachutes had deployed but it went on to the grass and spun over and over before coming to a rest about 100 yards from us."

He said his crew and an ambulance that was already on the airfield rushed over and found the car upside down and "dug in" to the grass.

Mr Ogden said he felt for a pulse and heard Mr Hammond breathing before the emergency crews worked together to turn the car the right way up and then cut him free.

He added: "He was regaining consciousness at that point and said he had some lower back pain. But he was drifting in and out of consciousness a little bit."

Like I say I still can't believe they righted it with him in it...especially if he was complaining of back pain.

I really hope its nothing serious, he is such a great character.

Nor can I, when I read that article I couldn't believe they would do that! I'm not a medical person but even I know that is a bad thing to do.

Latest report says his condition has been upgraded from critical to stable. Let's hope he makes a full recovery.

Awful news, hope the hampster makes a full recovery.

What was the record he was attempting?? 300MPH seems a little slow when compared to top fuelers and funny cars in the USA both running 330mph plus.

(mods feel free to start a new thread if the question is out of place)

If you read all the articles about this, it would appear that the roll cage was in the mud. Also there were proffesional firefighters and paramedics there. Sometimes the only option is to turn the car over.

Which is good news. They have just said on Radio 1, that Clarkson has already been to see him in the LGI.
