Richard Hammond

[DPG]

Heard he's been involved in another bad accident.

Is it going to be 3rd time unlucky

Hope he makes a full recovery if it's true.

Hope the Hampster is ok

 

[bluespit]

says he's escaped serious injury lets hope so

 

[RickRob]

Looks as though he ran out of talent on that corner. Good news that he's OK.

 

[Bing]

He's got a fractured knee or something similar - painful, but not serious

His luck's gonna run out at some point. Just a matter of time.
How many lives does he got left now the silly little sausage?

Read that he is ok. Just a busted knee. More balls than talent that man. :roll: Hope he recovers quickly and gets back in the saddle.

I think the issue here having seen the footage is a heavy electric car losing traction quite easily and once all that weight goes....

Anyhow yes a fractured knee is all we know so far but hardly the 'serious injuries' that the media would sensationalise.

I think he lost control under braking and overcorrected, likely due to braking hard whilst attempting to negotiate the gentle curve that preceeds the tight left. Either way, a deficiency of talent combined with an excess of confidence are likely to be the principal cause!

The seriousness of the injury depends on its nature. At one end of the spectrum, a 'fractured knee' might need nothing more than crutches for a few weeks, whilst at the other, he may be facing a series of operations for an injury that will leave him with a knee that always will be painful and stiff. That's before you consider the potential for an associated neurovascular injury.
I'm encouraged by the fact that he was able to extricate himself from the wreck, although fire is a strong motivator!

On lighter note, I wonder if he is an organ donor? After all, who wouldn't want a Hammond Organ? :lol:

He is obviously a good driver, much better than most on here I would reckon, but I always think he looks nervous in a car especially on track or going quick.
